Applications for WIMSIG Conference 2024 Travel Awards are now open!  We invite applications from women, trans and gender diverse people who (a) wish to attend the WIMSIG Conference 2024 and (b) are early-career researchers, or Honours, Masters or PhD students.  

Funding is available to provide partial support towards purposes such as travel, accommodation and carer expenses (not the conference registration fee). Selection will be based on (a) need and (b) the benefit to the applicant of attending the conference. Giving a presentation at the conference is not a prerequisite for funding, but preference may be given to those who are presenting (if funding is limited).  

For sustainability reasons, we will only consider flights as a reasonable expense for applicants who are not based in NSW or the ACT.  

All applications received by the closing date (Friday 16 August) will be considered. Late applications may be considered, subject to availability of funding. Applicants will be notified of the Committee’s decisions no later than 26 August 2024. 

For more information and the application form, please visit the conference website.

Please note, for anyone who doesn’t have regular childcare, we will also be organising one or two carers for children of participants who need it - you will be asked whether you need this service when you register.
