Travel Grants

Travel grant applications are now closed.

We're awarding Travel Grants to support members of the European Association for Cancer Research who need financial assistance to attend the Congress and present their work as an oral or poster presentation. Each EACR Travel Grant includes a free registration and funds to support travel and accommodation costs.

Eligibility

• You must have submitted an abstract on the Congress website. Please note there is a €30 abstract submission fee (plus VAT) to cover administration costs. It’s paid by card when you submit and is non-refundable, even if your abstract isn’t accepted.

• You must not pay your registration fee for the congress before applying for a travel grant. If you are awarded a travel grant, your registration will be free and we will arrange this for you. Travel Grants are targeted at members who, without additional funding, would not be able to attend the congress and as such, we will not award a travel grant to any applicant who has already paid their registration fee. Please consider your financial need before applying and demonstrate it in your application. 

You must also meet one of the criteria below:

• Student and Early Career EACR members with less than four years postdoctoral experience. Without exception, you must have been an EACR member for at least 30 days before the travel grant deadline. For new members, this means your membership payment must be received no later than 02 February 2026. Please allow time for your institute or company to make the payment if they are paying on your behalf, as this can cause delays.  Become an EACR member here.
