Guidance on Travel Grants to attend the EADPH  Congress in 2027

The Borrow Foundation and Colgate sponsor travel grants to attend the annual EADPH conference so  members from countries in the WHO European Region with medium or low economies, as defined by the World Bank, have the opportunity to network with dental public health colleagues and foster exchange of information and advances in public health. We are very grateful for their support. Those applying for travel grants must be members of EADPH who have paid their membership fee before 15 May 2027

Travel Grants from the Borrow  Foundation

The Borrow Foundation and EADPH have recently  reviewed the process for  awarding travel grants.  Subject to the confirmation of their Council, this year the Borrow Foundation has  generously agreed to continue to fund travel grants.

Eligibility for a Borrow Foundation travel grant is based on  definitions by the World Bank as countries with emerging economies i.e. those countries* with a GNP per capita,  estimated by the Atlas method, with a threshold of less than $ US 21,000 in 2025  within the WHO European Region . These countries are: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Montenegro, The Republic of North Macedonia, The Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.

Those  who are awarded travel grants are expected to attend the annual congress to  present their abstracts in person.  Borrow Foundation travel grants  will not be awarded to EADPH members who present their abstracts online.

The  Borrow Foundation travel grants can be up to 1,000 euros and are designed to contribute to the costs of registration fees and  travel and up to three nights’ accommodation.  The registration fee of all those who are awarded  a travel grant will be deducted from the grant and paid directly to the congress organisers.  The other costs must be reclaimed from the EADPH Treasurer after the EADPH member has presented their abstract.  Tickets and invoices to support the claim must be given to the EADPH Treasurer.  The Borrow Foundation travel grants will be awarded on the merit of the abstracts, which will be judged by the Congress Abstract Committee.

Travel Grants from Colgate

Up to 10 Colgate travel grants of 500 euros can be awarded to EADPH members who present abstracts in person at the annual congress. . The conference registration fee will be paid from the travel grant and the balance will be paid to award winners at a special lunch  for Colgate award winners  on Friday, 4 June 2027, immediately before the abstract presentations that afternoon.
