RAS Conference/Meeting Travel Subsistence
Description
RAS grants normally contribute £250–£1,000 toward conference or meeting travel, registration and subsistence. Matching-funding applications must be evidenced; student support normally covers at most half the costs. Applicants must provide a submitted or planned talk/poster abstract. Meetings must occur between six weeks and six months after the assessment deadline. The current pilot accepts applications continuously and assesses small grants at four annual cut-offs; the next is 30 September 2026. Applications after a cut-off move to the next round. This current overview supersedes the older two-deadline wording still present on individual scheme pages.
Eligibility
Normally only RAS Fellows may apply, and applications cannot be made on another person’s behalf. Doctoral travel must take place before the viva or thesis defence; support for postdoctoral or academic travel is exceptional. The scheme normally excludes activities fundable through research councils and does not pay degree fees. Consult the individual scheme rules.
