Travel Awards

The International EPR/ESR Society (IES) is pleased to announce a new travel award for PhD students to attend IES sponsored conferences in 2025. Each award will provide funding of up to 750 $ (US) to cover conference related expenses, with up to two awards for each conference. The list of conferences eligible for travel awards in 2025 can be found on the IES website, https://ieprs.org/upcoming-meetings/.

The PhD student should write a short case for the merit of their attendance at the conference and how the IES grant will enable this. They should include their abstract for their conference contribution. These should be emailed to the group secretary, along with a short letter of support from their supervisor on headed paper and including a signature.

Travel awards in 2025 will be decided on the basis of a valid case being presented, and in order of the applications being made. Deadline for application is the registration deadline of the respective conference.

Successful candidates should indicate the support of the IES during their conference contribution.

The applicant and their supervisor should be an existing member of the IES. Successful applicants, who are awarded once, cannot apply again.

The stipend will be presented after the conference on receipt of a certificate of attendance at the conference, together with a list of encountered travel/registration costs and a short article on their experiences of the conference for the IES Newsletter.
