Student and Early-Career Scientist Travel Grants

This program provides financial assistance to early-career scientists and students who have little or no support from research contracts or grants, and who are presenting an oral/poster presentation as first author at the meeting. Travel funds will be granted to members of ISSOL to partially cover the transportation costs.

Applications must include:

  • a short letter of motivation
  • a copy of the submitted abstract
  • a short CV (age, field of research, present position, Institution/University/Laboratory, address)

Applications should be sent to the Treasurer, with “ISSOL Travel Grant Application” in the subject line.

The deadline for early career attendees to submit travel grant requests will be announced approximately three months before ISSOL 2026. Funding decisions will be made and people will be notified afterward.

Joint meeting of ISSOL and IAU Astrobiology Commission (F3) in Quito (Origins 2023) was successfully held!
