CLCG Conference Grants

Financial support for organising conferences and workshops at this Faculty

Requests for financial support of the organisation of academic meetings by CLCG staff can be sent to clcg@rug.nl.

  • The academic meeting should take place in Groningen.
  • If the goal of the academic meeting is to prepare an application for a research grant, then financial support can be provided by the Board of the Faculty. Please contact the faculty funding officer for more information.

The maximum grant for a one-day grant is max. 1000,00 Euros
The maximum grant for a meeting of two days or more is 2000,00 Euros.

Please provide the following when applying for financial support for a conference or workshop:
  • Title and subject of the conference
  • List of participants (participation of Groningen staff is mandatory)
  • Dates and location
  • Estimates and expected funding from CLCG and other institutions
  • Expected Output
  • Please Note:
    - Honoraria are not taken into consideration
    - Guest speakers employed at other Dutch academic institutions are supposed to claim their costs (travel and accommodation) with their own institution.

Most subsidies are granted for conferences:

  • with a public and international call for papers or abstracts,
  • where the submitted abstracts or papers are chosen by referees based on a qualitative assessment,
  • attracting invited speakers of a high caliber which are going to increase the visibility of the conference,
  • planning to publish proceedings, and
  • which is of interest to many members of CLCG.

Colleagues accepting a conference subsidy are asked (i) to acknowledge the CLCG's support on announcements, websites and programs; (ii) to announce the event (a) on CLCG's events calendar as early as possible (but within two weeks of receiving a note confirming the subsidy) and (b) on the LOT list and other appropriate fora; and (iii) to submit a brief report on the event later noting highlights if any, and the general attendance as well as attendance by CLCG members.
