It brings us great joy to announce that RECOMB is once again extending invitations for student travel fellowships this year.
These prestigious fellowships are selectively awarded to students who have co-authored accepted papers, offering a generous sum
to defray the expenses associated with attending RECOMB, including registration, travel, and lodging. The deadline for submitting applications is December 26th, 2024.
FAQ
Q. "I have a poster presentation. Can I apply for a travel award?"
