Grants

In order to promote the participation of young researchers, grants will be assigned to undergraduate students, PhD students, and post-docs who are resident in Italy or abroad and who will submit an abstract as first author. The grant covers the registration fee, accommodation, travel expenses (up to a maximum of € 200,00), and the social dinner.
The grant request must be sent to the Secretariat of the Italian Botanical Society (sbi@unifi.it) with a short curriculum vitae (download the Application Form), together with the registration and the submission of the abstract via the link Submission of Abstract.
The Directory Board of the Society will select the grant recipients.
Grant recipients must already be members of the Italian Botanical Society or apply for membership when they receive the grant.
Candidates should NOT pay the registration fee for the Congress until the outcome of the evaluation process is known. Those who do not receive the grant can then decide whether or not to register at the reduced fee.

Special research projects participation grants
For the 2025 Conference up to 4 participation grants will be reserved for young researchers who will submit not an abstract, but a research proposal to be presented in the framework of the novel format “Aperiworkshop”. The aim of this initiative is that of allowing young researchers to find other researchers willing to participate to collaborative research projects. The proposal should be structured as follows:
a) Title
b) Authors and affiliations
c) Problem targeted (max 2000 character, spaces included)
d) Proposed methodology for the investigation (max 2000 character, spaces included)
e) Expected results (max 1000 character, spaces included)
f) Minimum and maximum number of participants which could be involved in the project (max 100 character, spaces included)
It should be written in a A4 document, with 2 cm margin per side, in Times New Roman font, 12 points size. The proposals will be evaluated on the basis of feasibility of the proposed research, the solidity of the methodology, the impact of the results, as well as the potential array of researchers which could be involved.
The proposal must be submitted via e-mail (sbi@unifi.it) to the Secretariat of the Italian Botanical Society before May 31th, 2025.
