Travel grants

We are pleased to offer a limited number of travel grants to facilitate participation in the 2nd International Conference on Human-Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence. If you wish to apply for such support, please read the information and instructions below. Once applications open, you can submit your application using the form that will be linked at the bottom of this page.

 

Applications for travel grants will open on 1 September and close on 31 October 2026.  

All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by 15 November 2026.

Funding is limited, and submitting an application does not guarantee support. Applications will be reviewed against the available funding and the criteria below.

  • applicants who are residents in a country not classified as high-income according to the World Bank classification; 

  • students from any country; 

  • applicants who have submitted an abstract for a talk, poster or a session at the conference or are involved in a session submitted by someone else.
