CLCG Conference Grants

Financial support for organising conferences and workshops at this Faculty

Note that researchers with external research projects (e.g., NWO and ERC projects) should first use up their own bench fees in those projects completely, before applying for a travel or conference grant from CLCG. Note also that researchers with a PGB (‘persoonsgebonden budget’) should first use up their PGB before applying for a travel or conference grant from CLCG.

Requests for financial support of the organisation of academic meetings by CLCG staff can be sent to clcg@rug.nl. Please send these requests at least 6 weeks before the event takes place.

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 meeting is max. €1000, and the maximum grant for a meeting of two days or more is €2000.
For workshops related to PhD defenses, the CLCG normally contributes €500.

Please provide the following when applying for financial support for a conference or workshop:
