Only DGMS members who are enrolled as students at a German or European University or a German or European Technical College, or who pursue their Master, Diploma or PhD degree, are eligible to apply for travel grants. Student members applying for a travel grant are not permitted to receive additional travel funding from any third party, e.g. from their institution funding or other stipends. Travel grants will not be awarded to post-docs or to members holding tenured positions in government institutions or industry. Travel grants are only awarded if the student member actively partakes in the scientific meeting, i.e., by presenting a scientific contribution (oral or poster presentation) related to mass spectrometry, or by supporting the organization of the scientific meeting. A co-authorship on a scientific contribution is not sufficient to be eligible for a travel grant.
