We are delighted that the Gatsby Charitable Foundation are kindly funding £500 travel bursaries to help four UK-based PhD students attend the annual International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) conference, which this year will be in Sydney, Australia, on 24-28 June 2013.
If you would like to apply for this bursary please fill out the GARNet travel bursary GARNet travel bursary form and return it to me (charis@garnetcommunity.org.uk) by the 14th April. To be eligible, you must be a current PhD student Ph.D at the time of the conference, and have submitted a poster abstract to present at the meeting. You must have permission from your supervisor to attend the conference.
If you want to go to a conference but can’t spare the funds or the time to travel to Australia, there are great meetings going on in the UK too. I made a list of travel grants you can use to go to conferences here.
