The Vincent Salomon FAST! Travel Award
FAST! has opened a call for applications to support the travel of early-to-mid career
researchers (EMCR) to attend conferences or visit collaborative research institutions. One
award will be granted, covering expenses up to $2500. Costs may include all or part of
conference registration, transportation, and/or accommodation.
Eligibility
– The proposal must be submitted by an EMCR (up to 10 years post PhD) currently working in a
French or Aotearoa New Zealand institution.
– Applicants need to be subscribed members of FAST! (link here)
– The conference or exchange must focus on a science, technology, engineering, or
innovation theme, which includes social sciences.
– The student’s project must demonstrate a France-Aotearoa New Zealand collaborative
effort. Examples include (but are not limited to) co-authors from French or Aotearoa
New Zealand, host institutions in both countries, research focus on one country by a
national of the other, etc.
– The applicant can apply without having submitted their abstract e.g., if the conference
is not yet open. However, the funds would only be transferred upon acceptance for an
oral or poster presentation at the conference.
– The conference or exchange must take place within one year from the award
announcement.
