Travel Grants for WCM 2022
Applications for Unitas Malacologica Travel Grants to attend the World Congress of Malacology in São Paulo, Brazil from 4th-8th August 2025, are now open.
Eligibility: We aim to support postgraduate students and early-career researchers (up to 3 years post PhD conferral) who will present at the Congress but require financial support to be able to attend it. Applicants must be members of Unitas Malacologica to be eligible. The membership rates are discounted for students and we have waivers for members from low income countries. To join, visit http://www.unitasmalacologica.org/membership.html. We welcome multiple applications from the same research group, however we are unlikely to support more than a single applicant per group to ensure that funds are distributed widely.
Funding: Awards will range from €90-1500 based on need. This will cover the $USD90 (approximately €90) student or $USD250 (early-career researcher) registration fee, a maximum of €260 for accommodation, and a maximum of €1150 for travel (e.g., flights). Please provide a clear breakdown of cost estimates for these three categories in your application. If these funds are not sufficient to cover all expenses please ensure that additional funding will be available if your grant application is successful. Travel grants from UM are for the actual expenses related to attending WCM (transport, accommodation and registration) only, and may not be put toward any other use. Funds will be transferred during the congress. The committee may consider pre-payment for any awardees that are unable to cover costs upfront – these arrangements will be made upon request after the grants have been awarded.
Conditions: Grants are conditional on being present and giving a presentation at WCM 2025. Failing to present would lead to restitution of the money to UM. The values listed above are the total sum of the grant; no additional funding will be provided to cover fees or charges (e.g., currency conversion charges).
How to apply: To apply, please complete the applicaton form. Incomplete applications will not be eligible for funding, so please ensure that all sections of the form are completed and that a letter of recommendation from your supervisor, group leader, or equivalent, is sent directly to Dr. Yasunori Kano (kanoaori.u-tokyo.ac.jp) by the due date.
The deadline for submission is the 28th of February 2025 (5pm GMT).
Yasunori Kano, UM Secretary
