Wenner-Gren Conference Grant — December 2026

Supports public anthropological conferences that advance research and broaden participation. Priority goes to major international scholarly gatherings. Most funding should support contributing international scholars, including travel, accommodation, fees or childcare. Awards provide up to US$20,000 without institutional overhead. The December round covers conferences held no earlier than July 2027, and applications may be made up to two years ahead. Annual meetings can receive support only every other year.

The primary organizer must hold a doctorate in anthropology, or a related doctorate with the anthropology affiliation required by the Foundation’s current eligibility policy. Graduate students may be co-applicants. National-association annual meetings, sessions within larger conferences, and individual requests to attend a meeting are ineligible. Existing award reporting must be complete; only one proposal may be under consideration.
