Funding Questions
Can I pay less to register because I am a student, early career scientist, or scientist from a developing countries? Whilst we strongly encourage all scientists to attend and present their work, we are not able to financially subsidise attendance at this meeting.
How can I attend as cheaply as possible? Apply early for budget student accommodation - available with access to self-catering facilities. This could save more than half of your accommodation and food expenses. Search for cheap travel tickets (cheap train tickets become available approximately 3 months before date of travel; look for budget airlines flying into Scotland), and reserve a free coach transfer from Edinburgh airport to Dundee by following the link from our Travel page.
Where might I be able to apply for funding?(1) your own funding body (e.g. BBSRC/NERC UK Research Councils, EU, or your National funding authorities); (2) your supervisor, academic department, University or Institute; (3) an academic society may support its student members; (4) other funding, including trusts and industry.
