I was lucky enough to get funding from this grant to attend the ICHRPI conference in Paris, 2022 & can confirm it’s an excellent opportunity! It allows for travel abroad to an exciting international event which would otherwise be unaffordable for many (esp PGRs & ECRs)

[ICHRPI @ichrpi]

As outlined in the recent issue of #PER, we have funding opportunities available to attend our conferences.

The Helen Maud Cam Travel Grant is open to younger scholars & those without permanent contracts or other financial subsidy. The deadline for applications is 31 July 2025.

[ICHRPI @ichrpi]

As the year draws to a close, we at #ICHRPI look forward to our annual conference next year, which will be held in Sibiu, Romania from 2-5 September 2025.
