Program Overview

IBRA offers three program types. Each program has a different focus and, accordingly, different requirements for applicants. Please read the information carefully and decide which of the three programs meets your professional goals best.

Please also study our FAQ (PDF) carefully, which gives answers on the most frequently asked questions.

Program A: Partial financing of participation in international congresses 

Application documents to be submitted:

• Electronically completed application form
• Curriculum Vitae in English
• Relevant information about the congress
• Titel and abstract of the planned presentation(s) or poster
• Written acknowledgement by the scientific committee of the congress, confirming title and date of the presentation(s). 

  Please note: If the acknowledgement by the congress scientific committee is not available by the time of the scholarship application deadline, you may submit your application without it. In this case, however, we reserve the right to make a final confirmation of funding dependent on the confirmation of the scientific committee of the congress.
