Conference Grants

The Council for European Studies (CES) is committed to supporting conference participants.

We offer a limited number of conference travel grants for junior faculty and graduate students already scheduled to present at our annual International Conference of Europeanists. Those who are awarded a CES Conference Travel Grant will receive a grant up to $700. Priority will be given to the applicants who have not previously benefitted from similar support programs offered by CES. You must be a CES Member to apply. Only those working at and affiliated with an academic, research, or policy institution will be considered in the 2025 grant year.
