TRAVEL GRANT

  The International Association of Technological University Libraries (IATUL) operates an annual Travel Grant Programme to assist first-time   attendees at the IATUL Conference who are from outside of the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and EU countries . The purpose of   the Travel Grants is to encourage participation by institutions that are currently not members of IATUL. Travel grants will be awarded to library   and/or information professionals whose libraries qualify for membership in IATUL.

  The Travel Grant is not intended to cover the full cost of attending the Conference but can be used for Conference registration costs and   other travel expenses. The maximum amount of an individual grant is €1000.

  When applying for a Travel Grant, please remember that English is the official language of the organization and its annual conference.
