EMBO Workshops are original meetings providing scientists from different fields with an opportunity to discuss common themes and exchange cross-disciplinary results. EMBO Workshops are expected to be stand-alone and not satellite meetings.

a. Application requirement: The EMBO Course Committee considers very seriously the efforts made to optimize the benefits for early stage researchers.  These include:

- ensuring that at least 50% of the speakers are different to those who spoke a similar EMBO Workshop in the past (if applicable).

- Ensuring that the number of talks is not excessive, so that there will be time for participants to discuss informally.

- Inclusion of presentation slots for ealy-stage researchers.

- Including poster sessions and ensuring that poster sessions are not solely relegated to late night slots.

- Making other conscious attempts to promote interactions amongst attendees.

b. Financials:  The maximum funding available for an EMBO is 30,000€.  Decisions on the amount of funding are made on a case-by-case baseis.  Organizers are therefore required to justify all major costs in the budget section of the application form.  It is expected that participants (other than the speakers) will pay for their travel, accomodation, subsistence and a modest registration fee.  EMBO funds must not be used to cover per diem expenses, poster prizes or other gifts.  EMBO funds can be used to cover:

- travel (Apex/Economy), accomodation and subsistence cost of the speakers.

- reasonable administration cost (max 4000€)

- room hire, audiovisual and IT facilities essential for the conference

- grants to aid participants from countries in need of scientific strengtheining.

c. Deadline: Organizers are encouraged to apply at least twelve months before the workshop takes place, to ensure enough time for the proper advertising and promotion of their workshop, in case of acceptance.
