Scholarships for Students and Early Career Researchers
Financial constraints should never be a barrier to accessing new knowledge, sharing research, and building professional networks. Students and early career researchers from low-income and underrepresented countries often face significant obstacles in attending international conferences.
To foster diversity and inclusion, SEFI 2027 is offering a scholarship to reduce the conference financial burden for students and early career researchers. These scholarships are designed to empower emerging researchers, enabling them to present their work, learn from peers, and build essential connections in the engineering education community.
Eligibility criteria
Applicants must meet the following requirements:
- Be a student or an early-career researcher (up to 7 years of research activity post-doctoral degree)
- Be affiliated with an institution located in an EU widening criteria country or low/lower middle income country.
