Travel grants may be given to researchers from ALTER-Net institutes¹ who would like to participate in the conference but who do not get the financial support from their institute for their travel and hotel costs in Ghent.

For applying please send your request to Jiska van Dijk ([email protected]). Please indicate at which institute you work and attach a short letter from your institute¹ explaining that your institute is not able to cover your costs. This applies to ordinary participants as well as invited speakers who work at an ALTER-Net institute.

Travel grants are not available for researchers from non-ALTER-Net institutes unless you are invited by the Organizing Committee to contribute to the conference with a presentation. For those who have been invited by the Organizing Committee, please contact Jiska van Dijk ([email protected]) for information on how to be refunded.

ALTER-Net will reimburse travel and hotel costs to a maximum of 1250 EURO for participants outside Europe and to a maximum of 750 EURO for participants from Europe. There is no deadline for applying but when the travel budget has been used, the possibility for obtaining travel grants is closed and the link on the website will be removed. The ‘first come, first served' rule is applicable here.
