43rd annual meeting (2016)	Share

The ICOHTEC Board will make available a limited number of grants to help defray some of the expenses of attending the symposium Technology, Innovation, and Sustainability: historical and contemporary narratives in Porto, Portugal, 26-30 July 2016. The Grants will be made available largely thanks to a generous support from Juanelo Turriano Foundation and the Division of History of Science and Technology.

Eligibility:
In 2016, the ICOHTEC Travel Grants will be awarded in two categories:
Up to 350 Euro each – eligible for applying are graduates, post-graduates and young scholars whose papers have been accepted to the scientific programme of our 2016 Symposium. Special preference will be given to participants from low-income countries who are not able to receive sufficient financial support elsewhere. These travel grants  are not intended to cover the full costs of attending the Symposium, and may be used to bus/train/ferry/flight tickets, lodging and/or registration fee.
Up to 200 Euro each – eligible for applying are the students participating in the ICOHTEC Summer School in Lisbon. Students whose papers have been accepted to the scientific programme of our 2016 Symposium are eligible for the Travel Grant of up to 350 Euro each.

Procedure:
The Travel Grant Application Form should be downloaded from here, filled in, and sent as an e-mail attachment to Sławomir Łotysz, the Chair of the Travel Grant Committee. In addition to the information provided in the application form, please attach a short CV, as well as an appropriate document proving your status (a scan of your student’s ID or supervisor’s/professor’s letter, if applicable).
The reimbursement will be made after the accepted paper is presented in person by the Grantee at the Symposium. At the time of submitting the application, the Grantee may choose whether the payment will be made in cash (at the meeting), or transferred to her/his bank or PayPal account (preferred). Please not, that all transfers can be made only after the meeting. Whatever way of payment you choose, please make sure you saved your original tickets and invoices to hand them over to the Treasurer at the meeting.

Deadlines:
The completed applications, along with applicable attachments should be submitted by e-mail by 4 May 2016. The grants will be announced by the end of May.
