We have funds provided from the INQUA TERPRO Commission project called CHAMP (Cascading Hazards and Mitigation Project) for 8-10 Early Career Researchers (ECRs) and Researchers from Developing Countries (DCRs) to help them attend PATA 2026. ECRs are scientists within seven years of their latest degree (BSc., MSc., PhD), and who do not hold a permanent position. We count students as ECRs. Based on the number of applicants, we will support registration fees and maybe also travel costs. Note that the grants can only partly cover travel expenses.

Your brief application must include the following:

• Cover letter explaining your areas of research and how you would profit from attending the meeting (half page);

• Valid proof of status (for students only);

• List of other available funding (if applicable).

Please include a proposed budget and the amount of support you are applying for.

Please send your application before September 15, 2025, to info@pata-days.org.

Please note that we cannot provide payment or any financial support in advance. Funds will be given in cash at the conference site. We expect everyone who receives funding to present a study at the conference (oral or poster), so do not forget to submit an abstract, otherwise your application will not be considered.
