Anybody here applied for conference travel grants ?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Conference travel grants can significantly alleviate costs for attendees, particularly for neuroscience conferences in Hong Kong. Graduate students are encouraged to seek funding from their department, research council, and university, as presenting a poster or talk is often a prerequisite for receiving these funds. Additionally, checking for grants offered by the conference organizers and exploring general charities that provide funding can be beneficial. Universities typically maintain directories or resources to assist students in identifying available grants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of conference presentation requirements
  • Familiarity with funding sources such as research councils
  • Knowledge of university resources for grant applications
  • Awareness of general charities that provide educational grants
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific travel grants offered by neuroscience conferences
  • Investigate your university's funding application process
  • Explore the directory of general charities that support educational travel
  • Connect with your department to learn about internal funding opportunities
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students, researchers in neuroscience, and anyone seeking financial assistance for conference attendance and presentations.

Got an ok to do a poster presentation at a neuroscience conference in Honk Kong. I am not sure whether my budget can stretch. I heard that grants are available which will cover half these costs.

Anybody know anything about these grants, if traveling from Britain ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Various sources to try (in order).
Your dept (I assume you a grad student?) normally giving a talk/poster is a requirement to get funding.
Your research council
Your university
College (oxbridge by any chance ?)

Then you can see if the conference has any grants - if it is being run by a well funded industry/international body it might have.

There are also a few general charities that award grants, your university should have a directory/someone that knows about them.
