Participation in a conference abroad

PhD students at Leiden University can apply for a grant for participation in a conference outside the Netherlands, only if they are not on the payroll of the university (max. € 750 in Europe and max. € 1,500 outside of Europe). Attending the conference must be part of a recognised research project within the faculty and/or part of a PhD programme.

Application

If you would like to apply for a grant to participate in a conference, please download the grant conditions and CWB application procedure at the top green ‘tile’ on the right of this page. If you meet all the criteria, you can submit an application using the LUF Subsidy portal.

Note: Grants for participation in a conference outside the Netherlands are only available to PhD students who can show that they do not hold a salaried position, meaning that they do not have a paid employment contract with Leiden University, LUMC or a related institution. PhD students who have a zero-hours contract or a personal grant and external PhD candidates are eligible.

Applications will only be considered for activities that are due to take place after the date of the next CWB meeting. Please see the CWB meeting overview for the meeting dates and submission deadlines. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Klaartje Sluijs (Secretary for Allocation of Funds) by e-mail to CWB@luf.leidenuniv.nl (Mon-Thu).
