We are happy to provide several travel grants for young researchers to attend the GeoAI 2026 conference. To apply, please send an e-mail to GeoAI2026@UGent.be and Changbo.Zhang@UGent.be, having as subject “Travel grant” and include a PDF document including the following information:
- Full name;
- Institution full address and email address
- Your gender
- Education background
- A list of your publications
- A proof of professional status (PhD-student, MSc-student, etc.), e.g., a copy of student id, or confirmation from supervisor
- If applicable: the title and EasyChair submission id of each submission to GeoAI 2026 you are co-authoring
- A letter of interest (<1 page) highlighting the impossibility of getting (sufficient) other sources of funding, and the importance for the applicant to attend the GeoAI 2026 conference, also with respect to the scientific expectations of the applicant.
Deadline to apply for grants is 15 March 2026 23:59 CET. Results of the selection process will be communicated by email before 31 March 2026.
Note that only very limited number of travel grants will be available, and therefore priority will be given to PhD/MSc/BSc students with an accepted submission and who really need finance support. Each travel grant will be up to 500 EUR. The award amount will be transferred to the awardees after the conference.
