FEMS-ASM Mäkelä-Cassell Travel Award for Early Career Researchers

The FEMS-ASM Mäkelä-Cassell Award supports the reciprocal exchange of one member from each organisation to present his/her research at the other organisation’s main conference. It has been designed to benefit early career researchers from both organisations by giving them the opportunity to present their work overseas and experience the best of microbiology in the partner country.
