IGU CPG

The Commission of Political Geography (CPG) will offer limited funding (two grants of $500) to assist two postgraduate students and/or early career scientists in attending the IGU Regional Conference 2015 in Moscow. The Travel Grants provide only a partial contribution to registration, transport and accommodation.

In selecting applicants to receive awards, preference will be given to young scholars and, in particular to those from developing countries. A list of developing countries prepared by the local organizing committee of the IGU Regional Conference in Moscow can be found at: http://igu2015.ru/grants

Applicants must first submit the abstract of their paper. To be eligible for a CPG grant, the abstract must be reviewed, accepted and scheduled in a session related to the CPG at the IGU Regional Conference in Moscow.

The call for papers for these sessions can be found on the website of the Commission at http://www.igu-cpg.unimib.it/?page_id=102.

Applicants then need to submit a full paper to both of CPG Co-Chairs (Virginie Mamadouh and Takashi Yamazaki) via email by 31 March 2015. The results of the review will be notified by the end of April. Awards willbe paid to successful applicants in cash in US $ after the grantees’ presentations at the IGU Moscow conference venue.
