[DMANET] Travel Grants (STSMs) on Kidney Exchange Programmes

There are multiple travel grants available from the COST Action on Kidney Exchange Programmes (ENCKEP). Under this scheme you can apply for a grant for a "Short-Term Scientific Mission" (STSM), i.e., a research visit to another country, related to kidney exchange programmes. This includes work on optimisation and the mathematical aspects of kidney exchange matching, as well as any other research to do with kidney exchange.

This is mostly intended for researchers based in Europe visiting institutions in other European countries, but there are some exceptions. For full details, see:
http://www.enckep-cost.eu/page/scientific-missions/guidelines

We especially encourage PhD students and early stage researchers to apply.

The minimum length is 5 days, and most often they are for a week or so; however, much longer visits are also possible.

The current application deadline is 12th November. You can apply for trips starting between 11th December 2017, and finishing by mid-April 2018.

Please read carefully the application guide http://www.cost.eu/STSM_userguide
and the guidelines given on the website (especially the page called Application Procedure) before applying.

We'd be grateful if you could forward this email to people who might be interested.

On behalf of COST Action CA15210,

Nic Wilson (STSM Chair)
David Manlove (Action Vice Chair)
Joris van de Klundert (Action Chair)
