Travel support

• Eligibility: Full & affiliate AMICAL members
• Application: Apply for travel support by 8 March; see instructions below
• Value: Varies

Each AMICAL institution should pay the airfare for at least one of its attendees (a membership requirement), including the institution’s AMICAL Representative if possible. If your institution is unable to fund any attendees beyond this, and if it is a Full or Affiliate AMICAL member, you may apply for sponsorship of additional attendees. Travel support should be requested no later than 8 March.

Conditions for applications

• The applicant must be likely to benefit from and/or contribute to the conference in a significant way, and this can be clearly demonstrated in your request by the relevance of the person’s work to the conference program
• The applicant should first seek support from their own institution before resorting to AMICAL’s travel support program
• The request form must be completed by the person requesting support, not by a colleague. If you wish to endorse a colleague, please send your endorsement in an email to contact@amicalnet.org
• In estimating airfare, use the lowest economy-class airfare that is acceptable to you in terms of carrier, itinerary, etc. The more reasonable your request, the more likely we’ll be able to fund it, and fund it in the full amount.

Responsibilities for those awarded travel support

• Awards will be for a specific amount, and attendees or their institutions will be responsible for covering the difference in the event the airfare purchased goes beyond this amount.
• Those receiving travel support will be asked to take on a volunteer role to help with the local organization during the event, for example as session conveners or reporters.

Responses to requests will be sent by email no later than 13 March.
