Wait for the outcome
Do not register and pay registration fees unless you are NOT granted a bursary.
Requests to be considered as a bursary applicant after the abstract submission deadline will not be considered. EASL will automatically decline all bursary requests that do not conform to the eligibility terms.
Name changes of presenting authors will only be accepted if made at the time of the submission of the supporting documentation. All confirmed bursary recipients will have waived registration fees for the conference.
EASL will grant bursaries only to presenting authors who attest that they are not being sponsored or covered by any other source in order to attend the EASL event.
If you have been awarded a bursary it is mandatory to sign in at the poster help desk to validate and confirm it. It is also compulsory for bursary recipients to stand in front of their paper poster during lunch time for the faculty poster walk. Failure to comply will result in non-payment of the bursary.
The payment of the bursaries to presenting authors who attested their presence by signing the onsite presence sheet will be processed after the congress by bank transfer.
