Supporting students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career investigators is a central objective of EUROMAR-ISMAR 2027.
The conference will provide numerous opportunities for young scientists to present their work, interact with established leaders in the field, and build international networks. Through scientific presentations, travel support, networking activities, mentoring opportunities, and dedicated career-development events, we aim to create an environment in which the next generation of magnetic resonance researchers can thrive.
We hope that EUROMAR-ISMAR 2027 will serve not only as a scientific meeting, but also as a place where lasting professional connections are formed and future careers are shaped.
 

Travel Grants
 

The Organising Committee is actively seeking support from scientific societies, sponsors, and funding agencies to provide a substantial number of travel grants for students and postdoctoral researchers.
Travel grants are expected to support participation costs for attendees presenting their work at the conference and will be awarded on a competitive basis.
 
Further details regarding eligibility, application procedures, deadlines, and available funding opportunities will be announced as they become available.
 
Examples of travel support available at recent EUROMAR meetings have included:

• EUROMAR and AMPERE Travel Awards;
• International EPR/ESR Society (IES) Travel Awards;
• Shimon Vega Travel Awards;
• Sustainable Travel Awards encouraging low-carbon transportation.

 
We anticipate a similarly broad portfolio of support opportunities for EUROMAR-ISMAR 2027
 

Awards
 

Young scientists will play a prominent role throughout the scientific programme.
In addition to travel support, several awards will recognize outstanding contributions by students and early-career researchers, including oral presentations, posters, and scientific achievements.
Further details regarding award categories and nomination procedures will be announced closer to the conference.
 

Career Development
 

Developing successful scientific careers requires more than excellent research.
EUROMAR-ISMAR 2027 will therefore include dedicated career-development activities designed to provide practical guidance and facilitate interactions between young scientists and more experienced researchers from academia, research infrastructures, and industry.
Topics may include:

• Academic and industrial career paths;
• Research funding and fellowships;
• Scientific communication and publishing;
• Entrepreneurship and innovation;
• International mobility and collaboration opportunities.

A dedicated career-development and networking event involving representatives from academia, research infrastructures, and industry is planned during the conference
 

Networking Events
 

Building professional networks is one of the most valuable aspects of attending an international conference.
Several activities will be organized specifically to encourage interactions among students, postdoctoral researchers, and senior scientists.
These activities may include:

• Informal networking lunches;
• Meet-the-expert discussions;
• Mentor–mentee matching initiatives;
• Social events dedicated to young scientists;
• Career-development receptions and networking sessions.

In particular, a dedicated Young Scientists Reception will provide an opportunity for students and postdoctoral researchers to meet peers from around the world and establish connections that may continue long after the conference.
 

Young Scientists in the Scientific Programme
 

Young researchers will be prominently featured throughout the conference programme.
Opportunities will include:

• Oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts;
• Poster presentations;
• Flash presentations highlighting selected posters;
• Active participation in scientific discussions and Q&A sessions;
• Visibility through the conference programme and digital platforms.

The Organising Committee is committed to ensuring that the scientific programme reflects the essential contributions that young scientists make to the continued development of magnetic resonance.
