Travel Grants

European Society for Clinical Investigation

The European Society for Clinical Investigation is glad to foster the participation of the young members to the meeting:

Selection procedure

The organizers of each Symposium composing the Annual Meeting will score the submitted abstracts. The best abstracts for novelty, relevance and scientific rigor will receive a travel grant.

Terms & conditions

The travel grant consists of € 500 to cover travel and accommodation to the venue.

The young investigators receiving a travel grant must register to all the three days of the meeting and attend the sessions for the whole duration of the meeting.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

From a reviewer’s perspective, successful ESCI applications tend to show:

✔ 1. Clear Clinical or Translational Relevance

Projects must go beyond basic biology and clearly address:

Patient-oriented research

Disease mechanisms with clinical implications

Diagnostic, prognostic, or therapeutic relevance

✔ 2. Strong Early-Career Trajectory

ESCI is particularly supportive of:

Young clinician-scientists

Postdocs transitioning to independence

Junior faculty building a clinical research profile

Evidence of motivation, productivity, and career focus is critical.

✔ 3. Well-Scoped, Feasible Project Design

Given limited budgets:

Aims should be focused and achievable

Methods clearly described

Outcomes defined (e.g., pilot data, proof-of-concept)

Overly ambitious proposals are commonly downgraded.

✔ 4. Integration With Clinical Environment

Applications score higher when they demonstrate:

Access to patient cohorts or clinical samples

Institutional support (e.g., hospital or university backing)

Ethical/regulatory readiness (or clear plans)

✔ 5. Dissemination Potential

Reviewers value projects likely to:

Lead to publication (often in European Journal of Clinical Investigation)

Be presented at ESCI or allied scientific meetings

Serve as a foundation for future funding

🛠 Practical Application Tips

✔ Emphasise bench-to-bedside linkage explicitly
✔ Keep aims tight and realistic
✔ Highlight your role and independence clearly
✔ Demonstrate institutional and mentor support
✔ Align language with clinical investigation, not purely basic science
