Funding available for Doctoral Students attending NBM2023

The NBM conference organization believes nurturing doctoral students is key to growing the community and the field. As such, it aims to open possibilities for doctoral students to attend the NBM2023 conference in Maastricht in person (including the doctoral colloquium).  Thus, in collaboration with the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS), we are pleased to announce that we will offer travel grants for doctoral students (€500) to cover travel expenses and conference fees. The funding will be allocated as a lumpsum amount after the doctoral student has attended the conference. This means that doctoral students who are selected to receive this financial support have to pre-finance their costs of participation and will be reimbursed afterwards by the conference organizers at Maastricht University.

The Doctoral Colloquium organizers wish to offer students from both developed and developing countries the possibility to increase their chances for international exposure, networking, and feedback from peers and top researchers in their field and warmly welcome submissions from around the world. The Doctoral Colloquium organizers will use the principle of first come, first served, so make sure to apply for the travel grant as soon as possible. The applications for these travel grants will be open to all doctoral students interested in attending the Doctoral Colloquium and NBM2023. However, priority will be given to doctoral students applying from institutions based in developing countries.

Doctoral students wishing to apply for this travel grant must explicitly mention the request in their motivation letter, part of their Doctoral Colloquium application, and explain the relevance of this live visit and travel grant. Selected students will be notified via email, together with more details on the procedures for the Doctoral Colloquium, conference registration and reimbursement procedure.
