Travel funds to attend the annual conference

Starting this year ISCHE is devoting some of the membership revenue to an ISCHE Travel Fund for the annual conference. These funds are for advanced students and early career researchers (up to 5 years post-PhD), with particular preference given to scholars based in low-GDP countries.

Applicants must have their conference paper accepted and submit the following documents to information@ische.org with the subject line: “early career travel support” before April 30:

• Travel Fund request (available here)
• Evidence of advanced student or early-career status (student card, dissertation certificate)
• Brief CV (maximum 2 pages)
