TRAVEL AWARD

Applying for a travel award

There are two types of scholarships awarded by the symposium organizers. The purpose of both is to support students and researchers who lack sufficient financial resources to travel to and participate in the symposium. The scholarships are primarily intended to cover travel expenses, and the amount awarded mainly depends on the distance. However, you can also receive funding for the conference fee itself, so it may be worth applying even if your travel costs are low.

The general application process is simple and takes place when you submit an abstract to the symposium. You are eligible for the travel award if you are a Master's student, PhD student, Postdoc or belong to a Non-Governmental (or industrial) Organisation.

If you live in North America, you can also apply for a travel grant from the Journal Alces, which awards a limited number of travel scholarships. A requirement is that you plan to submit a manuscript to Alces. Contact Roy Rea at the email address below for detailed instructions.

Decisions will be announced on April 10.
