Dear Fred,

Here is a new travel grant opportunity:

Northwest Lichenologists Travel Grant Application for the 10th Congress of the International Association for Lichenology (IAL10, July 26-31, 2026)  

To encourage broad engagement with lichenology research by students, postdocs, and early career researchers in the Pacific Northwest, Northwest Lichenologists (NWL) is offering up to $1500.00 USD in funding to help offset the costs of travel and attendance to the upcoming 10th Congress of the International Association of Lichenologists (IAL10) meeting in Trieste, Italy, July 26-30, 2026.

One grant totaling $1500 or two $750 grants will be awarded to eligible applicants.

  • Applicants must be registered for the IAL10 meeting.
  • Applicants must present a poster or give a talk at IAL10.

Application

Thanks to Katherine Glew and the travel grant committee for putting this together.

The IAL meetings happen every 4 years. They are an amazing experience with full-time saturation with lichenologists, lichen topics, field trips, etc. Even if you aren't eligible for the award you should consider attending! Because this is the first post-covid IAL meeting and because it is in Europe, I'm sure it will be well attended.
