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 2024, the ICOHTEC Travel Grants will be awarded in two categories:
- 300 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 2024 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.
- Up to 200 Euro each – eligible for applying are the students and early career researchers participating in the ICOHTEC – SHOT School in Santiago de Chile. Students and researchers, whose papers have also been accepted for the scientific programme of our 2024 Symposium, following immediately the Summer School, are eligible for the Travel Grant of up to 700 Euro each. It is not allowed to apply for a travel grant both at SHOT and ICOHTEC; other applications for grants must be mentioned.
