Travelling to a conference, a symposium, workshop, or visiting another lab or institute is highly valuable to PhD students and early career researchers. It allows to present your work and get feedback on it from experts in the field, it offers opportunities to meet peers, to network, to develop collaborations, and to open doors for future jobs. Students from developing countries often don’t have the means to attend conferences. Here, the SIWA Conference Grant could be your entry to your conference.
