In line with EGPA’s commitment to transparency and close engagement with its community, the IIAS Council of Administration (CoA) has approved a €60,000 allocation for EGPA in 2026, including €15,000 for Travel Grants and €45,000 for EGPA projects. The decision represents a concrete step in support of EGPA’s ongoing renewal agenda and strategic priorities.

EGPA will make available €15,000 in Travel Grants in 2026 to support PhD candidates and early-career researchers who will take an active part in the EGPA Annual Conference, to be held in Rome in August 2026, as well as related activities, including the PhD Symposium.
