Guidelines for travel grants for IASA members to attend the Annual Conference
1. While the aim of IASA shall be to encourage members to
attend the annual conference by supporting their travel costs,
such support must take account of the current financial health
of the Association. Up to 100% of travel costs (cheapest air or
train fare between the applicant's home and the conference
venue) may be met, but applications for 50% will be prioritised.
Applicants are thus encouraged to seek additional funding where
possible.
2. IASA will, in addition, approach the local conference
organisers and request that the grantee's registration fee be
waived. The decision in each case will be up to the conference
organiser.
3. Accommodation and subsistence costs will not be supported.
4. Applications must be sent in writing (by letter, fax or
e-mail) to the Secretary-General in response to the announcement
of travel and research grants which are published in the IASA
Information Bulletin. Applications must contain the 100% amount
of the travel costs in US$, confirmed e.g. by an official travel
agency. Please use the Application
Form.
5. Applications by representatives of institutional members
must be countersigned by the director or a senior officer of
their organisation as evidence that their attendance has been
authorised.
6. The Secretary-General will check all applications received
by the appointed deadline and will submit them to the Executive
Board for discussion and approval.
7. Applicants will be informed as soon as possible of the
result after the Board's decision has been reached. The Board
will aim to respond 6 months prior to travel.
8. IASA will not pay grants in advance of travel.
9. Costs will be reimbursed on presentation of copies of the
travel documents by the grantee to the IASA Treasurer during the
conference. Otherwise, payment will be effected after the
conference, and the method of payment shall be specified in the
application including to whom monies shall be paid and how they
will be made.
10. IASA travel grants are determined for members only;
accompanying persons have to pay for themselves.
