Grants

Grants only for reduction in registration fees and local transportation (taxi-brousse).

No funding available for international travel

The organizing committee is offering a limited number of grants aimed at facilitating the participation of students, researchers, and professors from low and lower-middle income* countries in the upcoming ICTW in Antananarivo. This endeavor reflects our commitment to inclusivity and the global exchange of knowledge. 

The grants are solely dedicated to reducing conference registration fees and reimbursing local travel cost (taxi-brousse). It's important to note that international transportation costs are not eligible for reimbursment. The exact amount of the registration fee reduction and local travel cost (taxi-brousse) reimbursment will be contingent on the funding we secure for this initiative. The organizing committee is actively seeking support to maximize the impact of these grants.

We anticipate notifying successful grant recipients by March 2024, allowing ample time for planning and preparation.
