PACE Travel Grant

PACE Support

The PACE programme supports individual geoscientists to participate actively in our events. This support is available for accepted speakers. The PACE support application form for a specific event is accessible through the event’s website. On this page you can find (below) which upcoming events are selected for PACE support. PACE Support are managed by the PACE Committee of EAGE.

COVID-19 Update

In view of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and current restrictions related to (international) travel and governmental policies, we would like to inform the grant applicants that, if granted, the PACE Support will be limited to registration fee waivers only.

As we continue to monitor the development of the situation worldwide and its impact on our scheduled events, we will update this page. In the meantime, we advise you to follow the corona advisory and specific indications provided for each event.

Eligibility

In order to qualify for PACE Support, please take the following criteria into consideration:

Only presenters of accepted oral and/or poster presentations who cannot obtain financial support given by their university/institute or other resources will be eligible to receive a grant
Speakers / presenters need to submit their own paper through their own account before applying for a grant
Only EAGE members will be eligible to receive a grant. You can apply or renew your membership here
A person will only be considered for a financial support once every two years
For regional events: only applicants resident in the respective regions will be eligible to receive a grant.

Selection

The PACE Committee has a limited budget for grants per year. The PACE Committee wants to give fair chances to requesting geoscientists to be awarded a grant.

The PACE grants are not a full reimbursement of costs but a considerable contribution towards the costs. The height amount of the grants are determined and set by country of residence.

When the number of eligible requests per event exceed the budget, the following preference rules will be applied:

Preference will be first given to:

delegates that have not received PACE or STUDENT FUND grants before

and:

a quorum will be given per country based on the EAGE membership in that country (with a minimum of one delegate) relative to the total number of applications for an event, whereby applications within the quorum will be accepted in order of date of application.

Note that the supported events will be published ahead on the PACE support page on the EAGE website including the opening and closing deadlines for applications. Applications received outside the deadlines will not be considered. Seen the number of applications, the decision of the PACE Committee is final and cannot be corresponded about. Awarded grants cannot be transferred to other people or events, when not collected/used the right to the grant is forfeited.
