Young Talent Travel Grants awarded
July 2024
In May, we opened the first round of the CONTRAST2 Young Talent Travel Grants, which gives young CONTRAST researchers the opportunity to go abroad for two months to establish a collaboration.
We received many excellent applications, which were carefully evaluated. Based on the available budget for this call, we were able to fund three projects.
We congratulate Abel Sandmann, Bart Franx and Shan Sui Nio on their grants and look forward to seeing the results of their projects.
Next year in May, we will open another call for these Young Talent Travel Grants and encourage all young researchers with an idea for a project to submit their proposal.
