IMPORTANT: Some IRD grants are available for MSc & PhD students. The selection will be based on the "best Abstracts" submitted by the students in the frame of a scientific committee. When the students register before submitting their abstract, they should specify their position: "PhD student" or "MSc student" in the Registration Form
Several grants are hopefully expected: applications should be addressed online before deadline (August 20th, 2022), (i) first register using the Registration Form (ii) then upload your Abstract
Mandatory conditions: a motivation letter should be addressed during registration, within the box "Message if necessary" (copy-paste your letter). In this letter, the candidate should specify (i) the University where he(she) is registered, (ii) the rates of thesis work (%) and/or job in parallel (%), and (iii) the year of PhD.
The grant covers travel to the country of meeting, accommodation and per-diems for the duration of the IGCP638 meeting (including field trip).
NB: The restricted scientific committee will examine only the Abstracts submitted before deadline and considering the mandatory conditions. Students from the organizing country are not elligible.
