IGVI offers travel grants for humanities and social-science scholars from low-income or lower-middle-income countries who are engaged in value inquiry, preferably with a philosophical focus. The grants are for participation in conferences and workshops, or for research purposes. The application deadlines are the 1st of January, the 1st of May, and the 1st of September each year.
Humanities and social-science scholars with a thematic focus on value inquiry who are based in countries classified as „low income“ or „lower-middle income“ (see: https://www.worldbank.org/en/country/mic/overview) can apply for travel grants by submitting an application form, which is available here.
The application form will require the applicant to refer to flat rates for various expenses in the destination and departure countries; those rates are available here.
Application forms must be submitted with additional material, namely:
- a current CV;
- a brief description of the research project with which your travel is connected (no more than 750 words);
- documentation, such as an email, proving that the applicant has applied to participate in the event or research activity for which the funding is requested;
- supporting evidence, such as a screenshot or email from a travel agent, that shows the cost projections in the application form are accurate.
The application package should be emailed to info@igvi.org before, or on, each of the three deadlines. They will be processed within 2 weeks—that is, by January 15, May 15 and September 15 each year. Approval of the travel grant will depend on the relevance of the research project, the relevance of the trip for the outlined research project, and on the availability of funds within the respective period of the year.
