List of Grants & Scholarships to Attend Conferences
Conferences, workshops, seminars, summer schools, exchange programs and many other such opportunities provide a great deal of exposure, confidence and an unforgettable experience!
Research based events show a zoom-in view of the fields and a chance of meeting intellectual minds. Unfortunately, for students, attending such events turn out to be pretty expensive. Thus, having understood the importance, not only the conference committees but also many other organizations help students, early-stage researchers, academicians to be a part of such gatherings and share their knowledge with the peers and help them embark on new journeys in their lives.
With this list we are making sure that our readers have access to such resources.
