Themes

The ESOVE ECP aims to support the professional development, community building, and visibility of early career professionals (ECPs) working in the field of vector ecology. Participation is this specific session is open to anyone who identifies as an early career professional (within the European Branch of SOVE) working on vector-borne diseases or vector ecology, including but not limited to students, postdocs, and professionals in academia, government, NGOs, or industry.
Symposium title: ESOVE Early-Career Professionals - Funding Your Future in Vector Science
The ESOVE Early-Career Professionals Education & Development Committee
(ECP-EDC) invites to a session focused on the real challenges and opportunities early-career researchers face in vector ecology and related fields.
This session brings together two key topics, career development and research funding, in a practical and discussion-focused format.
Session Structure
- Opening Talk – The Funding Landscape
An overview of funding opportunities, common challenges, and barriers, with practical insights on how to approach grant applications at different career stages
- Panel Discussion and Q&A
A panel with speakers from different sectors (academia, public health, industry, NGOs) sharing their funding experiences, and lessons learned with open discussion where participants can ask questions and get direct input from speakers.
Why Participate?
This session aims to:
- Provide a clearer understanding of how funding works in practice
- Explore and discuss funding opportunities across different sectors.
