application for micro-travel grants

1 min read Mar 17, 2017
Dear Simon Robinson, we had an exchange but cannot find it anymore on the site, that one can apply for a microtravel grant one year after being reimbursed. I was reimbursed today (17th of March). Next year there is a conference 8-13 April. Can I apply in February to know the results at the end of March or it is better to look for something else? thank you and kind regards Maria

Dear Mr Robinson

Dear Martina,

Due to shortage of funding, the call for microgrants is currently closed (and thus so are the various application forms), but may be re-opened in late February / March once the new MCAA Board has been elected at the 2018 GA on 2018-02-03, and has had time to take over the activities of the current MCAA Board. However, the election of the new Board will probably have little effect on the funding situation, and the re-opening of the micro-grants call might well be postponed until later in the year, and/or subject to stricter rules. We are thus not currently in a position to say exactly when and how the call might be re-opened, but it is clear that no further applications can be accepted at present, and until further notice.

It may thus be prudent to investigate alternative sources of funding.

Best regards,

Simon

Dear Simon,

Are there any news on this matter? I guess the microgrants are still closed, right?

Best regards,

Miguel
