News 12 February 2014
In past years, individual conference participants were able to apply for a Grundtvig Grant to cover costs for the Ecsite Annual Conference. This Grundtvig Grant no longer exists – it has been incorporated into the new Erasmus+ funding model.
What does this mean to you?
- No funds are available for the the Ecsite Annual Conference 2014
- For future conferences, only institutions can apply for funds, not individual participants. As an individual participant, you must ask your institution for an application.
