NVMS Fund

                      **Currently, applications for the NVMS Conference Fund are closed**

The NVMS Conference Fund supports early-career NVMS members from Dutch research institutions by contributing to the costs of active participation in an international conference, workshop, or school.

Eligibility: To qualify, applicants must be an NVMS member and an active researcher (BSc, MSc, PhD, or post-docs within two years of receiving their PhD) working at a Dutch institution with a minimum research position of 0.5 FTE. It is essential that applicants maintain the same position throughout the duration of their application and the conference. The work presented can take form of an oral presentation or a poster and must include a substantial amount of MS content, including practical applications. Please note that this award can only be awarded once to an individual.

Award amount: Funding amounts are capped at 1250 euros for events outside of Europe and 625 euros for events within Europe.

Selection criteria: The NVMS Conference Fund Committee evaluates applications based on several criteria, including the impact of the MS component presented in the submitted abstract, the justification for attending the conference/workshop/school of choice, the ways in which attending will enhance the applicant’s scientific development, and the relevance of their participation in the conference/workshop/school to the (young)-NVMS community.

Acknowledgement and agreements: Awardees are expected to publicly acknowledge the support of the NVMS/Young-NVMS during the conference/workshop/school by displaying the NVMS logo. Additionally, recipients must provide a brief summary (maximum half a page) accompanied by a photograph for inclusion in the NVMS newsletter, annual report and are also required to present their experiences at either the (young)NVMS Spring or Fall meeting.

Application dates: Currently, the NVMS Conference Fund application is closed. The next call for the NVMS Conference Fund 2025 will open in mid-November 2024, and the submission deadline is 1st of February, 2025 (23:59h CET). We will only consider applications submitted to info@nvms.nl using the NVMS application form!

Sponsors: The NVMS conference fund is made possible by the NVMS annual sponsors: Bruker, dsm-firmenich, MS Vision, MS Wil, and Waters.

Evaluation committee for 2024/2025: Arjen Gerssen (Wageningen University & Research, WUR), Annemieke Kolkman (Nederlands Forensisch Insituut, NFI), Kelly Stecker (Utrecht University, UU).
