Since 2017, ISCHE devotes some of the membership revenue to an ISCHE Travel Fund for the annual conference. These travel grants are for ISCHE members* who are doctoral students and early career researchers (up to 5 years post-PhD) without full-time faculty appointments. Particular preference will be given to applicants who are based in low-GDP countries**.

Application procedure: Applicants must have their conference paper accepted and submit the following documents to information@ische.org with the subject line “ECR travel fund request” until Friday 19 April 2024:

• Completed Travel Fund request form in one of ISCHE languages (English, French, German, Portuguese or Spanish) [available here]
• Evidence of advanced student or early-career status (student card, dissertation certificate)
• Brief CV (maximum 2 pages) written in one of the above-mentioned languages.

Incomplete applications will not be considered and previous recipients of the travel fund are not eligible.

Notification procedure: The Travel Fund Committee*** receives the applications and ranks them according to the information submitted. With approval of the Travel Fund Committee, the chair will then decide on both the applicants who will be granted a travel bursary and a waiting list, until Tuesday 30 April 2024.

The deadline for acceptance of the award is set on Wednesday 8 May 2024. Awards not accepted before the said deadline will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. Please note that early bird registration will end on 20 May 2024, reason why we urge you to respect this deadline and to respond as soon as possible.

Proof of attendance: The travel grant is given after proof of attendance at the conference. For this reason, the recipients will receive a form, which must be filled out, signed and given to the ISCHE Secretary (Angelo Van Gorp) during the conference.

• African countries
