Grants Program

About

AMW aims to cultivate and enhance expertise in database topics throughout the Latin American region. We are pleased to announce the launch of a grant program designed to support students and early-career scientists attending AMW 2024. These grants can be used to fund:

• Registration fees with particular attention to the AMW school.
• Partially or fully travel and accommodation expenses.

Eligibility

Grants will be awarded strongly emphasising diversity, equity, and inclusion aspects. Special consideration will be given to applicants from underrepresented groups, including those of diverse genders, indigenous backgrounds, and regions with limited access to opportunities.

In line with AMW’s mission, we strongly encourage talented graduate students and early-career scientists based in Latin American institutions to apply and seize this opportunity to further their expertise and career development.

Applications Procedure

Interested participants can apply by completing the Grant Application Form, where you will submit the following documents in a single PDF file:

• A CV.
• A one-page statement outlining their research background, interests, and motivation for attending AMW.
• A letter of support from a professor or advisor confirming that the requested funding (for travel, accommodation, and/or a percentage of the registration fee) is unavailable through other sources. If applying for partial funding, the letter should also confirm that the institution will cover other expenses from other sources.
