Conference Fund for Research Master's Social Sciences
As a Research Master's student, it's important for you to experience 'real' academic life, such as participating in academic meetings or conferences. To support this, the Graduate School of Social Sciences has established a conference fund. To apply, you must be enrolled in one of the following Research Master's:
- Research Master's in International Development Studies
- Research Master's in Social Sciences
- Research Master's in Urban Studies
A staff member (professor, academic adviser, tutor) from your study programme must attest to the relevance of the conference to your studies.
Funds available
The Research Master Conference Fund aims to support attending academic meetings and conferences taking place in the Netherlands. Conferences abroad aren't excluded, but the funding available is limited to a maximum of €150 per student for travel expenses and conference fees.
How to apply
- You can apply for a conference fund once during your studies
- Apply at least 2 weeks before the conference date
- Complete the application form and submit it to the International Office Social Sciences
You'll need to provide the following information on the application form:
- Personal information (name, student number, study)
- Meeting/conference details (title, date, organisation, attendance fee)
- Name and contact information of a staff member/tutor/academic adviser supporting the application
The International Office aims to inform you about whether you've been granted the conference fund within 3 weeks of receiving your application. You'll then receive further instructions on how to submit an expense claim form.
