Further information
The TRiSS Travel Bursaries are awarded to postgraduate research students, with a value of up to €750, for the following purposes, which roughly form an order of preference:
- Travel to participate in academic meetings with personal presentation of the results of their research
- Travel to engage in research relevant to their project and to collect material/information for incorporation in their own theses
- Participation in an academic meeting without presentation of research
- Participation in a training course or workshop
TRiSS Travel Bursaries are offered twice per academic year, roughly in October and January.
