It includes the lectures, coffee breaks and lunches during the course. Two types of Grants are available, candidates can apply to one or both grants: 1) European Mobility Grant The European Mobility Grants can be given to applicants who reside in Europe and whose travel to the training require air/train travel and/or who need accommodation in Barcelona during the course week. INBIOMEDvision will cover the costs of inter-European travel and lodging in Barcelona up to total of 500€ per applicant. Expenses will be covered only for travel and accommodation during the course period from the 22nd until the 26th of April. The original tickets/invoices are required for the reimbursement of the expenses. The in-city travel in Barcelona is not covered by the Mobility Grant. 2) Registration fee Grant The Registration fee Grant covers the registration only. Travel and accommodation costs are not covered by the organiser. SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE AND ORGANIZERS Chair: Dr. Laura I.
