IPPS and the WCPP2024 local organizing committee offer two types of travel grants for outstanding PhD students and early-career researchers.

1. IPPS fellowship grant:
Six travel grants of 1,000 Euro (approx. 160,000 JPY) and a waiver on the registration fees will be granted to early carrier scientists (PhD students or Post-docs).
These grants are prioritized for applicants coming from low- and middle-income countries (list compiled by the OECD).
Application Deadline: February 14 (Wed), 2024 => February 29 (Thu), 2024
Application Procedure: Register from WCPP2024 website, and send your abstract to wcpp2024grant@gmail.com. Please include your name, affiliation, and position in the application e-mail. The abstract template is available from the Abstract submission page at the WCPP2024 website (you can access after registration). The results will be announced to the applicants by e-mail by mid of March. You can postpone your registration fee payment until you know the results of the IPPS fellowship grant.

2. WCPP2024 travel grant:
100,000 JPY (approx. 600 Euro) travel costs will be granted to several outstanding early carrier scientists (PhD students or Post-docs), or scientists from developing countries.
