TEs are major drivers of genetic diversity and contribute to human disease. Remarkably, recent research has shown that TE-derived sequences also can be co-opted by the host to play important roles in gene expression, early development, immunity, neuronal diversification, and, perhaps, aging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Genomics and evolution<\/li><li>Transposon regulation<\/li><li>Transposition

The registration fee waiver covers the registration sum that you have paid to attend the meeting. Conference participants are not required to pre-pay the registration fee to be selected for a fee waiver for a virtual meeting. If you have already paid the registration fee and are awarded a fee waiver, it will be reimbursed after the meeting. Course participants are required to pay the course fee in advance, which will then be reimbursed after the recipient has attended the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Childcare Grants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For participants and speakers with childcare responsibilities there is the possibility to apply for a grant,&nbsp;provided by the EMBL Advanced Training Centre Corporate Partnership Programme and EMBO, to offset childcare costs incurred when participating at a virtual event. Eligible costs include fees for a babysitter or childcare facility or travel costs for a care giver. Please note that priority will be given to early stage researchers. Costs will be reimbursed after the meeting only once a reimbursement form and original receipts have been received. Attendance at the event is required in order to be eligible to receive the reimbursement. In order to apply for this grant, you must be registered by the abstract submission deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds Travel Grant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applies to selected courses only. Availability will be indicated during the abstract or motivation letter submission process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This grant covers costs related to your attendance to the course (registration, travel and accommodation costs). The grant is restricted to PhD students and postdocs who conduct basic biomedical research.<br>Whether you are eligible to apply for a travel grant,&nbsp;depends on when you received your university entrance qualification (e.g. Abitur, A-Levels, High School Diploma, Final State Examination):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 for PhD and MD students, as well as graduates, the university entrance qualification must not have been obtained more than 11 years ago at the time of the envisaged course<br>\u2013 for postdocs, the university entrance qualification must not have been obtained more than 13 years ago at the time of the envisaged course<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications for financial assistance can be submitted via the submission portal* (for the submission of abstracts for conferences or the submission of motivation letters for courses) by completing the Financial Assistance Application Section (underneath the section for entering abstract\/motivation letter information). The link to the portal can be found in the registration confirmation email that you will receive after registering for the conference or course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For conferences, if you are not submitting an abstract, you can still apply for financial assistance in the submission portal by following the instructions&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/FA_instructions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>. Note that priority will be given to those submitting an abstract to present at the conference. In your application you will be asked to answer questions regarding your motivation for applying, and, for registration fee waivers, the reasons why your lab cannot fund your attendance and how your attendance will make a difference to your career. Application for financial support will not affect the outcome of your registration application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*For some events, applications for Childcare Grants will still be done by email. Information about the grant will be sent out shortly after the abstract\/motivation letter deadline. Please contact the event Conference Officer if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of registration fee waivers during the abstract selection process for conferences and the participant selection process for courses.&nbsp;Results will be announced approximately 3 \u2013 4 weeks before the event start date.&nbsp;Selection results do not impact your admission to the meeting. Registration fee waiver selection is based on your current work or study location, your motivation for applying, the reasons for needing financial support and the impact this event will have on your career. Childcare grants are allocated based on career stage, with priority given to early stage researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A list of external funding opportunities can be found&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/external_funding_sources\/index.html\">here<\/a>, and information on attending a conference as an event reporter&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/eventreporter\/index.php\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information about financial assistance please refer to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/faqs\/faqs_participants\/index.html#FAQ_PA_trav1\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nVirtual Participation Guidelines<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"guidelines\">Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Please&nbsp;<strong>do<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use the event-specific hashtag as communicated during the event for any related tweets<\/li><li>Tweet unless the speaker specifically says otherwise<\/li><li>Be mindful of unpublished data<\/li><li>Be respectful in tone and content<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please&nbsp;<strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Share Slack, live stream or poster session links with others<\/li><li>Broadcast the conference to unregistered participants<\/li><li>Capture, transmit or redistribute data presented at the meeting unless presenter gives explicit consent<\/li><li>Use offensive language in your posts<\/li><li>Engage in rudeness or personal attacks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional information can be found in our&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embo-embl-symposia.org\/info_participants\/codeofconduct\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Code of Conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"health\">Health and well-being<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to stay healthy and move around, especially when you are attending an event virtually.
