The University's Research, Innovation & Development Trust (RIDT) is offering travel grants to allow doctoral students to present their research overseas.
Registered UM doctoral students are encouraged to apply for competitive grants to cover expenses related to participation in conferences held overseas in the course of their doctoral programme. These grants are meant to provide support for doctoral students who have transferred their studies from M.Phil. to Ph.D. to attend a conference overseas in which they would be disseminating their findings through first-author papers or first-author posters.

A call for applications will be published three times a year, in January, May, and October and applications will be evaluated by a board made up of representatives of the Doctoral School, the RIDT and the Pro-Rector for Research and Knowledge Transfer, Prof. Ing. Simon Fabri.
Interested applicants should submit their application through the dedicated Google form Application form (Form A), by Wednesday 31 January 2024. Applicants will be informed within one month of the closing date of the call whether their application has been successful. The application must be approved prior to the student attending the conference.
Grants shall be paid as a reimbursement of expenses properly incurred, and can cover conference registration fees, economy class travel and other eligible costs as listed in the General conditions for Overseas travel. Payments are only made once expenses are claimed by completing the Reimbursement Form (Form B) no later than 15 days after travel has been completed.
