Young scientist support

Each year, the SSAA receives money from the sc|nat available as travel money for young SSAA members.

Applicants are required to follow the guidelines: SSAA_funding_guidelines_v20240129. Applicants shall be sent as a single PDF to the SSAA Committee by the deadline.

The deadline is usually in March of the considered year (see the e-news for the precise date each year).

Travel money for young scientists is given preferentially to Ph.D. students but also young Post-Docs, whereby the money may be used for observing runs, visits to other institutions, conferences, research schools etc. Particularly encouraged to apply are young researchers who are in a situation where it is not so easy to get the money from other institutions.

Typical amount per application is between 500.- and 1500.-
