Travel Bursaries 2024

In 2024 the IASCL awarded a number of Travel Awards for scholars whose abstract for the Prague Congress was accepted and who are working in the Global South or are students elsewhere. The Travel Award Committee received 108 applications from across the globe. Although this year we had a relatively large budget available for support, we were able to honor only 32 of them. Congratulations to the Travel Award Recipients! They include 16 scholars working in the Global South and 16 scholars working in the Global North.
