Travel Grant
The DGMB has decided to award a limited number of travel fellowships for doctoral students and young postdocs attending conferences or symposia in the field of extracellular matrix research. The requirements are:
- You are an active doctoral student or a postdoc (up to two years) in a connective tissue group.
- You are a member of the DGMB at the time of application.
- You plan to visit the annual DGMB meeting or the biannual MBE meeting and want to actively participate (poster/oral presentation) in the meeting.
Deadlines and instructions for application will be sent by e-mail to DGMB members. Instructions on how to apply for DGMB membership can be found here.
To attend major international matrix biology-related meetings worldwide, please consider a membership and application for an international travel grant for young scientists of the International Society for Matrix Biology (ISMB).
If you fulfil these criteria please enclose the abstract to be presented at the meeting with a brief one page CV including degrees, oral presentations, awards and list of publications and send it to us.
DGMB Image Contest
Would you like to showcase your research? Are you proud of your histology, immunostaining, (F)ISH, EM data? Do you have some captivating images related to your recent publication that you didn’t include in the manuscript? Perhaps you’d even like to share images that capture the essence of your daily lab routine?
DGMB invites you to submit matrix-centric or lab-related images for potential display on the DGMB website banner!
Submission deadline is October 31st, 2023
As a token of appreciation:
- All submitters will have their images featured on the DGMB website and social media.
Additionally, the top winner will receive:
- €100
- An invitation to present the science behind the image
