The Company of Biologists and its journal Biology Open (BiO) give travel grants of up to 3,000 pounds to early-career researchers based in the Global South, Tunisia included, who want to attend an international scientific meeting. The next deadline is 20 November 2026, for travel after 21 December 2026.
Who can apply
Country
The grant is for researchers based in the Global South. Tunisia is on the eligible-country list in the 2026 applicant handbook, so a researcher based in Tunisia can apply.
Career stage
Usually PhD students and postdocs. Independent group leaders and principal investigators without their own travel funding are also considered.
Meeting
An international scientific meeting in a country other than the one where you are based, in Biology Open's research areas. Company of Biologists journal meetings and possibly predatory conferences are excluded.
Funding and what it does not cover
Up to 3,000 pounds, depending on demand, for the costs of attending the meeting. The money is paid to your personal bank account three to six weeks after you return the signed grant agreement.
