AGTA Travel Grant


The purpose of this grant is to fund travel expenses to AGTA members who are at an early stage of their careers and/or work in regions with limited access to fundings. The grant is meant to (co-)fund travel and/or accommodation expenses for participating in and giving a talk at a conference in group theory and applications. Applications are evaluated three times a year (April, August, December) but you can apply all year long; applicants are therefore advised to apply in a timely manner.

In order to apply:
  1. You must be an AGTA member (see here)
    Applications from non-AGTA members will not be considered under any circumstances.

  2. Send an email to agta@unina.it, with the following information:
    1. Title, location, dates and website (if available) of the conference
    2. Title of your possible talk
    3. Your full name, affiliation, academic position, and current address
    4. A short Curriculum Vitae
    5. A short explanation of why you should be awarded the AGTA Travel Grant
    6. The amount of requested funding (up to €600) and how you are going to use it
About the funding:
  1. The funding is provided as a reimbursement by bank transfer. This means that we do not provide money in advance, but reimburse the applicant once the following items are submitted (to agta@unina.it) after the end of the conference:
    1. Certificate of participation in the conference including the title of the talk
    2. Proof that the AGTA Travel Grant was acknowledged in your presentation slides
    3. Fiscal receipts for the expenses you are requesting reimbursement for (the date and the amount should be clearly readable from these). Note that we can also partially reimburse any receipt.
    4. Your bank coordinates
    5. If you ask for reimbursment of a flight, then also send us the boarding passes
    6. If there are many receipts, please also send us a list of documents
    Once the required documents are submitted, our staff will verify that everything is in order. Only after this step will you receive the bank transfer. The whole process may take up to three weeks.

  2. Conference fees are not reimbursed under any circumstances

  3. You cannot request reimbursement for expenses that will be or have already been reimbursed/funded by another organization.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to write us at agta@unina.it
