Travel Awards
Travel awards for graduate students and early-career scholars
The organizing committee will make available five grants to ease the cost of participation for graduate students and early-career scholars presenting papers at the conference.
- Recipients will receive a subsidy that covers hotel accommodation (a single room for a maximum of 4 nights stay, considering the nights from October 18 to 21, 2020), books, and meal credits.
- The travel award is not intended to be a refund of accommodation expenses, therefore the awarded presenters (authors) must not book accommodation individually, but they have to follow instructions of the Conference committee. No refund will be given in case of self-booked rooms in other hotels.
- Unfortunately, we are not able to cover all travel expenses and strongly encourage applicants to search for additional sources of funding. The award does not cover travel costs (e.g. airline tickets) and visa application fees.
How to apply?
Indicate your status and whether you would like to be considered for an award along with your personal information when submitting your proposal. Requests sent after the abstract submission will not be considered.
Who is eligible for the travel award?
- Recipients must be presenters (authors) at a panel or round-table listed in the program. Priority will be given to applicants who are the sole authors of a paper, rather than a co-author. Among co-authored papers, priority will be given to applicants who are the first authors.
- Recipients must be graduate students (master’s level or PhD) OR be no greater than five years post-PhD.
- Recipients must live and study/work outside of Moscow and Moscow Region.
Travel grants applicants are notified of results as of 31 July 2020.
