Apply for the IGS EGG Conference Grant

The International Glaciological Society (IGS, https://www.igsoc.org/), alongside the Early-career Glaciology Group (EGG, https://igsegg.org/), invites applications for the inaugural IGS EGG Conference Grant.

This grant aims to provide financial support to early career researchers in any field of cryospheric research to enable them to attend, and participate in, conferences and meetings that are fully or partly sponsored by the IGS. The grant also aims to increase participation of early-career, underrepresented minorities in cryospheric research (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour; BIPOC), as well as those who do not have access to traditional sources of funding. More details can be found below.
