Overview
Four travel awards are available for individuals who attend and present at the 2025 SSSR conference. Each award covers registration fees, entry to the conference social event, and four nights in the conference hotel for the 2025 conference. Award winners will also receive one year’s SSSR membership.
Eligibility
The travel awards are given to individuals from countries with emerging or developing economies. Specifically, applicants must be both a citizen and a resident of a country listed here as low or middle income (list derived from the World Bank classification system).
Applicants must have any type of paper accepted at the 2025 SSSR conference and must present at the conference.
We expect that two awards will be given to researchers who have a PhD and two awards will be given to researchers who do not have a PhD.
