Mission Period: 28 November 2025 – 30 September 2026
Are you a Researcher or Innovator from an ITC Country? Would you like to attend an international conference to present your work?
SIGMA-1 EUROPE is offering ITC Conference Grants (of up to €2,000 each) to researchers and innovators to attend a high-level conference and present their work as an oral presentation. To be eligible you must be affiliated to a legal entity in a COST ITC or Near Neighbour Country. The work presented must be relevant to the scope of the Action. The grant can provide a contribution to travel, accommodation and subsistence expenses, registration fees and overall effort.
Note the ITC Conference Grants are now available to researchers/innovators of any age and are no longer restricted to Young Researchers under 40 years old. They now provide support for people accepted to give an oral presentation but not a poster.
