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 submission of TFTAYS applications will open together with the call for abstracts around 15 February 2025; the application deadline will be 14 April 2025 (Monday, at 13:00 (CEST).
Details will be provided once the EMS2025 website is online.
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,
7 – 12 September 2025. 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 750€ for travel expenses to attend the Annual Meeting onsite in Ljubljana.
Young scientists under 35 years of age on the first of January 2025 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 Human Biometeorology, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology and Cities and urban areas in the earth-atmosphere system 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 14 April 2025 at 13:00 (CEST).
Guidelines for abstract submission will become available mid-February at the following link: https://www.ems2025.eu/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 12 May 2025 and will have to confirm their abstract and participation within the abstract handling system until 22 May 2025.
Any inquiries about the Tromp foundation travel award to young scientists (TFTAYS) can be sent to
ems-tromp-award ( at ) emetsoc (.) org.
Information about all EMS2025 support schemes will become available at https://www.ems2025.eu/information_for/authors/support.html
A certificate will be presented to the awardees at the EMS2025 Awards Session on Monday 8 September 2025 in Ljubljana. The award recipients are expected to provide a report on the conference to the Tromp Foundation. The award prize of 750€ is transferred to their bank account after receipt of the report. The Tromp Foundation would appreciate receiving a short (one to two mins.) video clip before the conference (instructions will be provided to awardees).
The awardees will receive a code to register for the conference.
