ECREA Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) grants

ECREA Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) grants will be awarded to future attendees who experience barriers and biases to participation and those who come from underrepresented groups. To facilitate participation of individuals identifying with this category we hope to make ECREA more equitable, diverse and inclusive. The EDI grants are in addition to the already existing Young Scholar support initiatives, so if you are an Early Career scholar (PhD Student or up to 1 year after completing your PhD), we suggest you apply to YECREA grants  (see above).

For everyone else:

  1. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) grants – 15 grants in the form of conference fee vouchers will be offered by ECREA to scholars who would otherwise have difficulties accessing the conference.
  2. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) travel grants – 5 travel and 5 accommodation grants will be offered by ECREA to scholars who would otherwise have difficulties accessing the conference.

Applicants are allowed to combine travel grants, accommodation grants and the grants in the form of conference fee vouchers.

Deadline for applications: 15 April 2024
