The ECPR can offer two types of funding to help support self-funded graduate students from ECPR member institutions wishing to participate in any ECPR activities (Joint Sessions, General and Graduate Conferences, spring and summer schools sponsored by the ECPR):
Mobility fund
The mobility fund is designed to contribute towards travel and accommodation costs, although it cannot be guaranteed to cover these costs fully. Funding is restricted to one applicant per institution per event in any one year and only students who are self-funded (i.e. who receive no financial support from their institution to attend the event in question) are eligible to apply for funding. Please note that all ECPR supported summer schools count as one event, the Joint Sessions count as one event and the Graduate or General Conference counts as one event. The eligibility criteria differ slightly between events and are listed under the sub heading of each event.
PLEASE APPLY FOR THE MOBILITY FUND IN ADVANCE - EVEN BEFORE YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO PARTICIPATE IN AN EVENT.
Joint Sessions, Lisbon
General guidance notes:
- Applications must be received by 1700 hrs on 15 January 2009.
