The International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives (IASA) offers Travel Awards to encourage its members to attend the association’s annual conference. The awards support the journey between a participant’s home and the conference venue, rather than research activities or project costs. Support depends on the association’s financial health and is paid as reimbursement after the conference, not in advance.
The program prioritizes members from developing countries, those presenting a paper, and first-time applicants. IASA uses World Bank gross domestic product per capita at purchasing power parity, with the world value as the dividing point, to define its country-based priority. The Secretary-General checks applications, and the Executive Board discusses and approves awards.
