travel the world for FREE | PhD diaries

Have you ever wondered how you can travel to present your research for free? Travel grants are a great tool for that.

I was about to do a typical conference travel vlog from my latest conference in Oslo but then I realised that a few students know about how to apply for travel grants and - more importantly - get them.

I have a few suggestions of where you can find travel grant opportunities, but feel free to do your own research!

1. Institute Neurosciences Cognition are giving travel grants: https://inc.parisdescartes.fr/fr/bour...

2. National French (150 €) or international (300 €) travel grants for conferences related to Psychophysiology and cognitive neuroscience from La Société de Psychophysiologie et de Neurosciences Cognitives: https://spnc.fr/soutien/

3. National French (200 €) or international (400 €) travel grants for conferences or seminars if your work is related to speech, L’Association Francophone de la Communication Parlée: https://www.afcp-parole.org/informati...

4. Up to £500 can be compensated if you are travelling to or from UK and work on topics related to Experimental Psychology society: https://eps.ac.uk/grindley-grant/
