The Tromp Foundation established the Tromp foundation travel award to young scientists (TFTAYS) in 2016, with the aim to support scientists who present papers in the area of biometeorology at EMS Annual Meetings.
The EMS and the Tromp Foundation invite applications for the Tromp foundation travel award to young scientists (TFTAYS) to support the participation of young scientists at the EMS Annual Meeting – European Conference for Applications of Meteorology and Climatology, 4-9 September 2022. These awards are funded by the Tromp Foundation, the legacy of Solco W. Tromp.
This award is specifically for presentations in the area of biometeorology.
The award consists of a waiver for the registration fee and financial support of 500€ for travel expenses to attend the Annual Meeting onsite in Bonn.
Young scientists under 35 years of age on the first of January 2020 working and/or studying in a European country are eligible for an award. All countries with an EMS Member Society or included in the WMO RA VI region are considered as European. An overview of EMS Member Societies is available here.
This award is specifically for presentations in the area of biometeorology. Presentations in sessions Atmospheric effects on humans, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, Cities and urban areas in the earth-atmosphere system, and Interactions between air pollution, meteorology and the spread of COVID-19 are treated with high priority; presentations in other related sessions could be considered as well, but the decision on eligibility is to the selection committee.
To apply the following procedures have to be followed:
(1) Submit your abstract for the EMS Annual Meeting before 26 April 2022 at 13:00 (CEST).
Guidelines for abstract submission will become available end of February at the folowing link: https://www.ems2022.eu/abstracts_and_programme/abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html.
(2) Within the abstract submission tool, please tick that you would like to apply for the TFTAYS support scheme.
(3) Within the abstract submission tool, upload the following application details (in one pdf-file):
The applicant must be the presenting author of the submitted contribution. Note that award applicants have to pay Abstract Processing Fees at the time of submitting the abstract.
Applicants will be notified on the results of the selection process by 13 May 2022 and will have to confirm their abstract and participation within the abstract handling system until 19 May 2022.
Any inquiries about the Tromp foundation travel award to young scientists (TFTAYS) can be sent to
ems-tromp-award ( at ) emetsoc (.) org.
A certificate will be presented to the awardees at the EMS Annual Meeting in Bonn. The award recipients are expected to provide a report on the conference. The award prize of 500€ is transferred to their bank account after receipt of the report.
The awardees will receive a code to register for the conference.
