Registration fee waivers and/or grants

In its effort to widen the participation to our annual meeting, the European Astronomical Society (EAS) provides support for a limited number of students and researchers for whom attendance would be a financial hardship, sponsored by our organisational members, the MERAC Foundation and Springer, and by a Scientific Exchange grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. The waivers and grants are open to all participants, EAS member or not, invited speakers, contributed speakers or ePoster presenters, and from all over the planet. They are aimed at colleagues who, for whatever reason, will have difficulty to pay. This can include non-funded or unemployed students or colleagues, or retirees, but also other astronomers, from all countries. Participants can request fee waivers and/or hotel costs and/or travel costs.
