Euroscience and the ESOF local organizers that provide young researchers with a unique opportunity to interact with leading scientists from various scientific fields wish to encourage and promote the participation of groups of graduate and PhD candidates. The groups will reach Copenhagen in Denmark (the next host of ESOF in 2014) by bus (ideally a low emission vehicle) or some other low cost transportation. Selected participants will have access to all ESOF 2014 programmes and to the specific sessions dedicated to Young Researchers. This project is based on the successful Barcelona and Torino Science Bus event, realized by the ESOF2008 and ESOF2010 Team that brought to Barcelona 40 and to Torino 30 students. The Science busses participants will be offered a very low conference fee (80€), the possibility to be hosted in low cost accommodations in Copenhagen and onsite help provided by the local organisers.
The best practices are that a university finances or find its own sponsors for one or more
Science Busses. The university may cooperate with the local Copenhagen team which is ready to
provide onsite help when looking for a convenient hostel/hotel or so called Human Hotel, through
which delegates can sign up and stay with a Copenhagen host family.
The coach capacity is in general around 40 seats. It is up to the university to decide how
many students it wishes to finance.
In general, the students which have already obtained their Bachelor’s degree will benefit
most from the opportunities this event represents.
Euroscience and ESOF therefore recommend selecting students having already obtained their
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or are currently doing their PhD. Postdocs have usually a regular
income and are able to self-finance such a trip.
