What the grant covers?

Each grant includes:

Three nights' accommodation at the CEU Residence Centre
A full conference fee waiver

Payments will be made directly to the CEU Residence Centre for accommodation and to IPPA for the conference fees. Grants are non-transferable and cannot be paid directly to participants.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

Applicants should:

· Be accepted as a paper presenter at the IPA Europe 2027 conference.

· Be able to attend the conference in person.

· Demonstrate that they do not have access to adequate institutional or grant funding to cover conference costs.

Selection criteria

Applications will be assessed by a small committee comprised of representatives from the IPA Organising Team and the CEU DI Local Organizing Team based on:

· Financial need – the extent to which the applicant lacks access to adequate institutional or grant funding and would otherwise face difficulty attending the conference.

· Career or community impact – the extent to which attending the conference would support the applicant’s professional development, research, or wider contribution to their community or field.
