MAKING RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL!

Grant

The Scientific Association for Entrepreneurship Education awards an annual travel grant with the aim of promoting Finnish entrepreneurship education research and strengthening international researcher networking. The travel grant may be awarded to cover travel expenses and/or participation fees related to an international entrepreneurship/entrepreneurship education conference.
The grant is particularly intended to support doctoral students, researchers in the early stage of their post doc career, and research groups as they continue and internationalise their research work. In order to be eligible for the grant, the recipient must give a presentation at the conference (at least a poster presentation). A recipient of the travel grant also commits to improving the Scientific Association for Entrepreneurship Education’s visibility at the conference for which the grant has been awarded. The grant cannot be awarded retroactively.

Applicants do not have to be a member of the association.

For grant applicants

Apuraha on haettavissa 1.12.2021- 31.1.2022. Hakemuksessa tulee ilmetä selkeät perustelut matka-apurahan hakemiselle ja matkan tarkoitukselle:

1. Mistä suunnitellusta konferenssista on kysymys ja miksi hakijan olisi tärkeää osallistua juuri siihen?
2. How does the conference promote the applicant's research and researcher career?
3. Millainen suunniteltu esitys hakijalla on konferenssissa?
4. A cost estimate of the total expenses and a plan for use of the travel grant as well as a report concerning other grant applications related to the trip in question.
5. Selvitys siitä, kuinka moneen yrittäjyyden/yrittäjyyskasvatuksen kansainväliseen konferenssiin hakija on osallistunut viimeisen viiden vuoden aikana
6. Consent to act as an ambassador of the Scientific Association for Entrepreneurship Education at the conference and write a blog-style travel report after the conference, which will be published on the association’s website. An ambassador uses the association's logo in their conference presentation.

The fact that the applicant is a doctoral candidate or a researcher in the early stage of a post doc career or a research group will be taken into consideration during the application process. The need for travel assistance must be sufficiently justified and the grant sought for a suitable international conference. In addition, the plan for using the travel grant and the related cost estimates must be realistic, and the applicant must demonstrate that they have not applied for/received any other grants to cover the costs of the conference in question. Priority will be given to applicants who have not had the opportunity to attend many international conferences in the past five years.
