Funding details
We currently have up to ten travel bursaries of €500 available for accepted speakers for the INORMS Congress Madrid 2025. These bursaries are in all cases comprised of a single, lump-sum payment of €500. In all cases, payment of the award will be made only once a final report has been submitted to and accepted by the EARMA Awards Committee. EARMA reserves the right to publish such reports in EARMA communication channels (e.g. EARMA newsletter, website, social media). No detailed justification of costs is necessary.
