Visa and Travel
Please note that CAMP is unable to support national/international travel for students. However the registration, accommodation and food is covered by the course for all participants. Please consult your university/PI or external sources for funding your travel. Here are some links: Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds , Company of Biologists , and http://ncbs.res.in/rdo/grants_for_junior_researchers
A Conference Visa is required for attending CAMP. This visa is valid for a maximum period of one month..
If you plan to stay longer than 1 month, you will need to apply for a separate tourist visa.
Use the passport whose details you had initially provided us with. This is because we have sent those details to the Ministry of External Affairs which processes and clears you for entry on a conference visa.
Please apply to the same Indian consulate which you mentioned in the CAMP application form.
Miscellaneous questions
Undergraduates who are currently in their final/ pre-final year and Master-level students are eligible to apply. Please visit the About section for more information.
Accommodation and food for the duration of CAMP will be covered by the course funds. Please note that we cannot support stay and food for more than the conference duration. If you must stay for a few days longer, then please write to us. This will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
