This grant (maximum EUR 500 per recipient) allows scholars with limited or no means of financial support to attend Translation Studies conferences or training events. It is only available for fully paid-up EST members for the year of grant application and for scholars meeting the criteria outlined below.
As 2026 is a year in which there is not an EST congress, up to 5 grants will be available.
Deadline for applications: 15 February 2026
Who can apply?
Applicants must be members of the Society at the time of application (for details, go to “How to join us“ ). Applicants must apply themselves and as individuals. Applicants must either be an enrolled PhD student, a recent PhD graduate, an independent scholar with evidence of current research and no current full-time academic position, or a researcher in a full-time position but with limited access to financial support to attend the conference.
Applications should be submitted electronically via the Google form here, with an accompanying email to the EST Secretary General (secretary-general@est-translationstudies.org) with the required evidence for the relevant applicant category. The final date for applications for conferences and training events in 2026 is 15 February 2026.
Applications must include:
- All sections of the Google form filled in and submitted, especially the letter of motivation and the budget,
- The supporting evidence emailed to the EST Secretary General
Assessment:
All complete and eligible applications are assessed using the same decision criteria in the same order. These decision criteria can be found here.
Please note that applications without a clear budget or without a clear letter of motivation explaining the effect of conference attendance on the research development of the applicant will be rejected.
The final decisions will be announced by the Conference and Training Grant Committee and ratified by the EST board.
