 ====== UniDive 3rd call for ITC conference grants applications ======

ITC Conference grants are awarded by the Management Committee to UniDive participants affiliated in an Inclusiveness Target Country (ITC) or a Near Neighbour Country (NNC), to present their own work (**oral** presentation) within the scope of UniDive at a high-level conference, not necessarily in a COST country.

For a list of countries see: [[https://www.cost.eu/about/strategy/excellence-and-inclusiveness/|ITC countries]] and [[https://www.cost.eu/about/strategy/international-collaboration/|NNC countries]]

ITC Conference grants:
* Serve COST Excellence and Inclusiveness Policy;
* help UniDiive participants to gain knowledge and to establish a strong network in the research community through sharing their work;
increase the visibility of the Action;
provide contribution for travelling, accommodation and subsistence expenses, registration fee, printing of scientific poster and overall effort.

**Applications** are submitted via the [[https://e-services.cost.eu/|e-COST portal]] using the dedicated [[https://e-services.cost.eu/activity/grants/add?type=STSM|forms]] available. The content of the application shall include paper title, conference title, conference country, start and end date, budget requested by the applicant, as well as supporting documents: copy of the abstract of the accepted presentation, acceptance letter from the conference organizers, and a short explanation of the relevance of the paper to the UniDive Action. If the ITC conference grant is awarded, the authors must explicitly **acknowledge UniDive** in the paper. Please, note that a **written report** must also be submitted via e-COST upon returning from the conference.
