March 2024 Newsletter

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

Dear colleagues,

Welcome to the first 2024 TEATIME COST Action newsletter for improving biomedical research by automated behaviour monitoring in the animal home-cage. In this edition we invite you to apply for our Grant Funding, and an update on where to find TEATIME presentations this quarter.

There is still time to apply:

Are you planning to present your work at a scientific conference in a poster or talk? Need funding for your travel, registration, and accommodation costs?
TEATIME can provide a grant for this if you are under 40 years old and affiliated to a legal entity in a COST Inclusiveness Target Country for the Conference fund.

Do you want to travel to another laboratory? Learning skills related to HCM?
Our grants cover travel, accommodation, and limited lab expenses to cover these visits: Short-Term Scientific Missions
