IAU travel grant application is closed
The IAU wishes to support qualified scientists to whom only limited means of support are available, e.g., colleagues from economically less privileged countries and young scientists. An IAU grant should be the seed money in ensuring the participation of a selected beneficiary, rather than adding comfort for colleagues whose attendance is already assured (Section 3.9 of the Rules and Guidelines for IAU Scientific Meetings).
The IAU travel grants are intended to cover in part expenses associated with the participant’s attendance. The submission of an abstract for CPS2 is mandatory. Regarding the amount of IAU support (in EUR) requested, three options are possible:
- Option 1: 270€ for registration fees
- Option 2: 370€ for registration fees + lunch/dinner
- Option 3: 695€ for registration fees + lunch/dinner + student dormitory
If possible, an additional amount will also be allocated to non-European participants to partially cover their travel fees.
