Travel grant is to support students/early career researchers attending CSNDSP 2026 from low- and medium-income countries.

Priority will be given to attendees that will most benefit from the limited travel grants.

Please note that the grant is a modest contribution towards the travel cost and WILL not cover the entire cost of attending the conference.
