Conference Travel Grants
The Conference Travel Grant Scheme awards grants-in-aid to support attendance at conferences which are directly related to an applicant's field of research.
Conference Travel Grant applications are reviewed by Research Services personnel and must be submitted at least 2 months prior to the conference.
