Each year, the FPS awards numerous grants to students, post-docs, young researchers and technicians or engineers who are members of the society and wish to attend national or international congresses organized or sponsored by the FPS. Applications are also accepted from established researchers wishing to attend a distant event.

 

FPS grants for 2024

The list of events for which the FPS will award grants in 2024 is shown below. It is also possible to apply for a grant to participate in events that are not in the list.
