Financial support

Thanks to the EDGG’s mother organization IAVS, we can support a number of participants with travel grants. Travel grants will be awarded according to the IAVS criteria, based on income level and country of origin. They will preferentially be given to early-career and other financially constrained scientists. The support usually covers only part of the participant’s costs, according to the number of successful applications.

Eligibility and requirements:

  • The applicants should be a IAVS member during 2022.
  • To qualify for a travel grant, active participation at the conference (oral presentation or poster) is required.
  • Only the presenter of the contribution will be supported so each applicant should apply with a separate talk or poster and she/he will be the presenter.
  • After the conference, grantees must provide a short report of the event, and some photos that can be used in Palaearctic Grasslands.

Travel grants can be applied for during online registration until 15th May, including a short motivation letter. Applicants for IAVS travel grants must be IAVS members for the year 2022. Information about travel grants will be given at the latest by 31st May.

We would like all grantees to share some of their experiences with us. Those will be shared with the EDGG members in the next issue of the Palearctic Grasslands. All grantees are asked send a short report including a profile photo of the applicant, a few photos from the conference, 1-2 paragraphs about the event: in which ways the grantee benefited from the conference, your opinions about the sessions and the events and suggestions. Please send your reports by email to Steve Venn (stephen.venn@helsinki.fi) within 1 month following the conference and write "report from IAVS grantees" in the mail subject. Grantees who did not do so will not be eligible to apply for the the travel grant next year.

Additionally, the conference will support the participation of young scientists not covered by the IAVS grant with the payment of the conference fee. The same requirements as for IAVS grants are required, except for IAVS membership.
