ESA Academy student SPONSORSHIP

The ESA Education Office is pleased to sponsor the attendance of up to 3 tertiary education students to attend the 26th International Vacuum Electronics Conference (IVEC 2025) in the frame of the ESA Academy Conference Student Sponsorship programme. The sponsorship will cover the early bird student registration fees (directly paid by ESA Education Office) and provides a maximum reimbursement of EUR 700 towards travel and accommodation expenses, which will be reimbursed via a single bank transfer after the event and will only be paid upon submission of receipts.

To be eligible for an ESA Academy Student Sponsorship, students must fulfil the following criteria at the time of application:

  • individually present an accepted contribution at the conference (oral presentation, poster, other). 
  • be minimum 18 years old at the time of the conference;
  • be a citizen of an ESA Member State, Canada, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia or Slovenia;
  • be enrolled as a student (Bsc, Msc, or Ph.D.) in a tertiary education academic programme (not graduating before the Conference);
  • not benefit from an overlapping financial support to attend this conference, unless duly justified;
  • agree with the conditions of the ESA Academy’s Privacy Policy

Priority will be given to students who have less than 2 years of professional experience and have never taken part in an activity sponsored by the ESA Education Office.

The deadline for applications is 20 December 2024 at 23:59 CEST. Applications should be submitted to felix.mentgen@esa.int

The decision by the Selection Committee will be communicated by 23 February 2025. 

ESA is committed to achieving diversity and creating an inclusive environment. To this end, applications from all eligible candidates irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, beliefs, age, disability, social origin or other characteristics are welcome.
