Travel Grant

GKS offers travel Grants to members who wish to attend a conference, provided that the conference has a clear reference to Canadian Studies. Please note that complete funding of all expenses is not possible, since travel grants are covered by the regular GKS budget. Send your applications to the GKS office at least two weeks prior to the biannual board meetings, i.e. no later than by January 31 and June 15. Travel grants do not exceed the maximum amount of EUR 500.

Requirements:

  • The applicant must be a GKS member.
  • The applicant presents a paper at the conference (trips to conferences at which the applicant does not chair a panel or present a paper are not eligible).
  • Applicants must send a conference report to the GKS office within three weeks after the conference.
  • Original receipts must be presented to the treasurer.

Only complete applications will be considered. Applications should include,

  • adequate professional reasons;
  • a conference program;
  • a budget plan;
  • as well as other information relevant to the conference.

Travels that are already partly sponsored by other institutions (DFG, DAAD, etc.) will not be considered. If you have simultaneously applied for other sponsoring, please explicitly note this in your application. Disbursement will usually be done after the applicant has handed in the required receipts and a conference report. You cannot apply for travel grants retroactively. Applications must be sent to the GKS office prior to the conference you want to attend and prior to the deadlines mentioned above. As a rule only one application per person and will be considered at each application-deadline.
