EASL will automatically decline all bursary requests that do not conform to the eligibility terms.
Name changes of presenting authors (different than at the time of the abstract submission) will only be accepted if made at the time of the submission of the supporting documentation. All confirmed bursary recipients will have waived registration fees for the conference. Please only register and pay registration fees in the case you are NOT granted a bursary.
EASL will grant bursaries only to the presenting authors who will attest that they are not being sponsored or covered by any other source in order to attend the EASL event.
If you have been awarded a bursary for a poster presentation it is mandatory to sign in at the poster help desk to validate and confirm your bursary. It is also compulsory for bursary recipients to stand in front of their paper poster during lunch time for the faculty poster walk. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in a non-payment of the bursary.
The payment of the bursaries to presenting authors will be processed after the congress by bank transfer.
