In addition to the ESA Academy Conference Student Sponsorship, the Europlanet society and the conference organisers offer a limited number of registration fee waivers. The registration fee waiver covers only the conference registration fee and does not include any support for travel or accommodation. Early career researchers who apply for the ESA Academy and want to be considered for fee waiver need to fill the separate form as well.

The fee waiver is intended for:

• early-career participants,

• members of underrepresented communities,

• individuals facing financial or funding-related challenges.

Selection process:

In the first stage, students will be selected for the ESA Academy Conference Student Sponsorship.

In the second stage, students who were not selected for ESA funding and who also applied for a conference registration fee waiver may be selected, subject to availability.
