Our main organizer, GTEST 2024 offers travel grants to international participants, on a competitive basis, subjected to approval by our sponsors. To be eligible for the travel grant, the applicant must be registered for any of the 9 conferences (including ELECRiS 2024) affiliated with GTEST2024, and a presenter of an accepted peer-reviewed paper for the conference. Other registered international attendees e.g. conference listeners may be invited by GTEST to apply for the travel grant based on funding availability. These grants encourage participation by students or individuals who would normally find it difficult to attend e.g., individuals from low GDP countries, beginning graduate students, early-career researchers and first time attendees. Awardees will be allowed to use the grant for their travel costs, which may include:
- Economy coach fare air travel to and from the meeting location.
- Ground transportation (bus, underground, taxi) for neighbouring countries.
- Accommodation.
These costs will be reimbursed after the Congress with the submission of related application documents, presentation of receipts and proof of attendance to the conference. The travel grant will not cover meals, baggage fees, or travel itinerary change fees and may only be a partial reimbursement of the allowed costs. Relevant documents for travel grant application will be emailed to participants after paper acceptance. Applicants will be notified of the decisions at least 1 month prior to the Congress.
