Bordeaux is a port city on the Garonne in the Gironde department in Southwestern France. Awarded for the 5th consecutive times in 2018 as the most attractive town in France, Bordeaux remains a prominent powerhouse and exercises significant influence on the world wine industry. Bordeaux wine has been produced in the region since the 8th century. The historic part of the city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as "an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble" of the 18th century. After Paris, Bordeaux has the highest number of preserved historical buildings of any city in France.

Note: The Schools and Symposium are not close! There are on two separate tram line (A for IINS/BIC and B for Enseirb Matmeca). Still most of the hotels are in the center, near both tram lines. For instance Ibis Budget hotel centre meriadeck is at 30 minutes from Enseirb and 20 minutes from IINS/BIC. We recommend TS participants taking an hotel at 10 min walk from place Pey Berland, as it is the location where both tram lines cross.
Here is a list of other hotels located in the historic center of Bordeaux city (quartiers des "Grands hommes", "Quinconces", "Hôtel de ville" and "Mériadeck"). All are close to the tramway stops of line A (direction Le Haillan-Rostan / Pin Galant - Stops: Hôpital Pellegrin, Saint-Augustin, François Mitterand) and line B (direction Pessac Centre/Pessac Alouette – Stop: Arts et Métiers):
Citadines Centre Mériadeck Bordeaux ***
Hôtel Ibis style Bordeaux Mériadeck ***
Best Western Bordeaux-Bayonne Etche Ona ***
The local organizers welcome you to Bordeaux!

Please check in the application form how to apply for those grants by filling the additional fields enabling to submit a justification. We typically provide less than 1/3 of the grant applications received, so any documented information provided to demonstrate why you need a travel grant is important for us to fully assess your request.

Granted trainees will be notified ~1 week after the final results of the selection.

The grants are attributed at a fixed rate (check registration form for more info) to cover for travel and accommodation.

Trainees will be selected on the basis of their scientific motivations, as described in their motivation letter. Upon selection, NEUBIAS will seek proof of the candidates status as "early career investigator" or "staff" and of being actively working on the project(s) as described in the motivation letter. Gender balance and geographical distribution will be taken into consideration according to COST policies, and only after pre-selection of eligible/suitable candidates and in the case that applicants are too numerous as compared to the number of available seats.
