The 52nd Annual Symposium of ICOHTEC will be held as part of the 27th International Congress for the History of Science and Technology on 29 June – 5 July 2025. The general theme is “Peoples, Places, Exchanges, and Circulation in the History of Technology”. We offer a limited number of grants to help defray some of the expenses of attending the symposium. The Grants will be made available largely thanks to a generous support from the Juanelo Turriano Foundation.
Who is eligible?
In 2025, following ICOHTEC Travel Grants will be awarded:
Up to 700 Euro each – eligible for applying are graduates, post-graduates, and early career scholars whose papers have been accepted for the scientific programme of our 2025 Symposium. Special preference will be given to participants from low-income countries, who are not able to receive sufficient financial support elsewhere. Participants with special needs are invited to contact us for support directly. 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.
It is not allowed to apply for a travel grant at ICHST and ICOHTEC; other applications for grants must be mentioned.
How do I apply?
The Travel Grant Application Form must be filled in, and sent by 1st March 2025 as an e-mail attachment to Dr Nelson Arellano-Escudero, the Chair of the Travel Grant Committee at secretary-general [at] icohtec.org. In addition to the information provided in the application form, please attach a short CV or bio, 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. Please, note that all money transfers can be made only after the symposium. In addition, make sure you will save your original tickets and invoices to hand them over to the Treasurer at the meeting.
