The Wellcome Trust/​DBT India Alliance (India Alliance) and European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) are looking to fund interdisciplinary meetings that cover the latest developments in research areas underserved in India. These meetings should address discovery and innovation through an interdisciplinary approach, with the speakers and participants discussing important global challenges in the context of the life sciences.

• India | EMBO Symposia must take place in India, but scientists from anywhere in the world are eligible to apply, independent of their nationality.
• India | EMBO Symposia must cover frontier, pioneering and interdisciplinary areas of life sciences that are underserved in India, and include speakers with interdisciplinary expertise. Furthermore, the application should include a list of (mostly) confirmed speakers.

Applications for India | EMBO Symposia must be submitted through the online system. Organizers should apply at least 6 – 12 months before the proposed date of the meeting.

• The deadline for applications is 15 July 2017, 14:00 CEST. 
• Applicants must complete an online and an offline application form.
• The decision on which proposals receive funding will be jointly made by the EMBO Course Committee and the India Alliance Meetings Committee in October 2017. 
• All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application by email shortly after the committee meetings.

For detailed information on the eligibility criteria, application process, key dates, format of the meeting and required documentation, please consult the application guidelines or visit India | EMBO Symposia website.
