Grants to support travel for early-career scholars (ECS) planning to attend the SCAR 2020 Open Science Conference are offered by the Action Group on PoLSciNex to those who make a research presentation at Session 44 on “Connecting legal and policy needs with Antarctic research”.
The grants will be up to $1000 USD per person for up to three ECS presenters, including Ph.D students, to assist with their travel and registration costs.
To apply, please send an email to Akiho Shibata with the following information:
(1) A description and/or evidence of your ECS or student status;
(2) Your submitted abstract as evidence that you will present in Session 44; and
(3) Estimated required travel and registration fees to attend the OSC
Applications will be accepted until 9 March 2020, and will then be reviewed by the Co-leads of PoLSciNex AG and awards made conditional on abstract acceptance.
Please note that other SC-HASS travel bursaries for SCAR 2020 will be announced shortly.
