The Doctoral School is pleased to announce the third call for applications for the University's Research, Innovation & Development Trust (RIDT) travel grants which allow Ph.D. students to present their research overseas.
Registered UM Ph.D. students who have transferred their studies, are encouraged to submit their application through the dedicated Application form (Form A), by Thursday 31 October 2024. These competitive grants would cover expenses related to participation in conferences overseas and in which the students would be disseminating their findings through first-author papers or first-author posters.
The 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.
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 to cover 75% of expenses properly incurred, up to a maximum of €1,750.
Information about the Eligibility, Selection Criteria, and General Conditions for Travel, can be found on the website.
Further help is available at the Doctoral School Offices, by email or through our page.
"Presenting at EURAM 24 allowed me to showcase the hard work that has gone into my research and gain feedback that will undoubtedly contribute to refining my work further. I am immensely grateful to the RIDT grant for providing the generous financial support that helped make this possible. [this paragraph is a quote by the student mentioned below."
