Travel grants
Travel grants worth 1000 € are available to a limited number of early-career scientists from Latin-American countries. Candidates who wish to apply for a grant should (i) register for the conference, (ii) submit an abstract and (iii) send a letter of motivation by email to LAC2019.ifgeo@uni-hamburg.de (LAC2019.ifgeo"AT"uni-hamburg.de) no later than May 31, 2019. The letter should explain how their participation in the LAC is going to benefit their scientific career. Applications will not be considered if any of these items are missing. The scientific committee will evaluate all applications and will communicate the decisions to the applicants by the end of June 2019.
The Department of International Affairs of the Universität Hamburg specifically supports early-career scientists and professionals from strategic and thematic partners of Universität Hamburg in Latin America. These include: Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade de Minas Gerais and Universidad de Chile. Delegates from these universities may contact LAC2019.ifgeo@uni-hamburg.de (LAC2019.ifgeo"AT"uni-hamburg.de) to find out about possibilities of travel support.
