Our student grant program aims to assist MSc and PhD students to attend the symposium in Rotterdam. Up to 15 grants will be awarded to students working on a research project in the area of pig digestive physiology, nutrition, gut microbiology, immunology or other related areas, to support their attendance to the International Symposium on Digestive Physiology of Pigs 2022 in May 2022 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
