LASI 7 strives to be an inclusive meeting. The VIPS Commission has selected 4 early-career colleagues for (partial) travel bursaries financed by IAVCEI. Many more applied. Participants with ample funding can support the attendance of early-career/student participants from the VIPS Commission reserve list by adding a donation of €50, €100 or €200 to their conference registration fee. Their invoice will show the higher registration fee that includes the donation.
