Travel grant

RIMLS travel grants are available for work-related travel (e.g. conference, work placement) expenses with up to 50% of the costs refunded. In 2022, the last RIMLS travel awards were awarded.

Radboudumc has decided to merge the research institutes as of 2023, so RIMLS is no longer a separate institute. The travel bonus will therefore be stopped. You could try to find a travel grant via these links:
