For the 7th IATIS Conference, IATIS and the Organizing Committee are joining their efforts to offer One Full Bursary and a Registration Solidarity Fund.
The scheme is only for delegates whose paper abstract (in or out of a panel) has been accepted by the Scientific Committee (see below for further elegibility conditions).
Deadline: 30 April 2021
Results: mid-May 2021
IATIS Bursary
As for every conference, the IATIS bursary covers visa, flight, accommodation, IATIS membership, registration fees, meals during the conference.
Elegibility:
Scientific excellence
Delegates from bands 3 and 4 countries
Since the bursary is for on-site participation, the awardee needs to be allowed entry into Spain despite the current pandemic. For general entry restrictions and authorizations, please consult the Spanish Ministry of Health portal, updated every two weeks.
Given the frequent updates, delegates from bands 3 and 4 countries are encouraged to apply even if at the moment of application, they are not allowed entry, as this may change by the time the committee takes its decision.
In the event of a change of entry permission preventing the bursary awardee from attending the conference, the awardee will attend online and the unused funds will be allocated to another bursary or to the solidarity fund.
Registration Solidarity Fund
The Organizing Committee has raised a Solidarity Fund to cover the registration fees (online or onsite).
Elegibility:
Scientific excellence
Delegates from bands 3 and 4 countries
Delegates from any country whose income has been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic

The Organising Committee is committed to offering an onsite Conference but given the difficulties some of you may experience in being present on campus, we are switching to a hybrid mode of delivery, allowing for remote attendance or on-site attendance. However, on-site attendance will only be available for delegates who are scheduled to speak at the conference; remote attendance will only be available to some speaker-participants (priority given to to speakers with travel restrictions). This is because the Organising Committee intends to strike a balance between the need to encourage face-to-face, on-site interaction, the need to accommodate for people’s travel restrictions and the obligation to ensure social distancing and any other safety and health regulations applicable at the time of the conference.
Please note that IATIS offers a bursary and the OC has raised a solidarity fund for delegates experiencing difficulties in the pandemic. Deadline 30 April 2021. Check eligibility and application process here.
For on-site participation, please check entry restrictions and authorizations, on the Spanish Ministry of Health portal, and the Autonomous Region of Catalonia entry requirements, updated every week. This official website is also useful. In case of doubt, please contact the Spanish Embassy in your country of departure.
Note: Early bird deadline is 30th May, and all fees are shown in EUROS
