Description
The Society for Ethnobotany’s Conference Assistance Awards help student members and members from developing nations offset the cost of attending its conference in person. The awards support conference participation rather than a separate research project, covering registration and travel so recipients can share their work through a poster or oral presentation.
The program connects participation in the Society with career development. Applicants explain how their research is relevant to Society members, why attending this particular meeting matters to their careers, and how they have been involved in the Society and plan to participate in the future. Recipients also share their meeting experience through a brief account for the SEB newsletter.
