Travel grant to participate in IKUWA 8!
IKUWA8, the 8th International Congress for Underwater Archaeology, takes place in Oostende (Belgium) from October 13th to October 17th, 2025
Participation Grants open for Eary Career Researchers from the Global South
To empower and support promising young marine professionals from the Global South, The Sea as a Good Cause – the philanthropic branch of the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) – offers four exclusive travel grants for participation in IKUWA 8, with the generous support of C-Hotels. Each grant, valued at 2.500 EUR, covers travel, accommodation, and registration fees.
The goal of this grant is to provide four early-career scientists from the Global South with the opportunity to attend IKUWA 8, and gain valuable hands-on and in-depth experience at the conference. By facilitating collaboration between research groups across the globe, this initiative aims to stimulate professional growth and contribute to a global network of ocean research – because our ocean knows no borders.
The early career marine scientists should be enrolled in an MSc, PhD program or junior postdoctoral trajectory in marine science and be younger than 35. Read all the details in the Call for Proposals and on the IKUWA8 website.
Kind regards,
IKUWA 8
