Student Sponsorship
Student travel grant
The WEC2026 will encourage student attendance by providing student travel grants. The grants will be awarded once abstract confirmations have been sent out and you will not be awarded a grant if your abstract is not accepted. You will need the title of your ACCEPTED abstract to submit the form, so do not submit it before getting confirmation that your abstract has been accepted. Because the WEC has a limited pool of funding available for travel grants, we will not be able to support an unlimited number of applications and the grants will only cover partial costs.
To be eligible for a grant, applicants must:
- Be the presenting author of a talk or a poster
- Provide all details as requested on the application form
- Be a financial member of the ISE (or intend to become for this Congress)
- Indicate in the application the projected travel budget including the amount of any departmental or other support available
- Be a student presenter – To qualify as a student presenter you must be presenting either a spoken paper or a poster on a topic researched as part of a student project, and your enrolment must have been current at some time within the 12 months prior to the conference. The work you are presenting can have co-authors, but you must be the first author, and the work presented must be primarily your original work
