Description
The Fisheries Society of the British Isles (FSBI) offers competitive Travel Grants for attendance at scientific conferences, including its annual symposium, and associated scientific exchange visits consistent with the Society’s objectives. The primary purpose is to help researchers present their work, with conference attendance combined with visits to other institutions encouraged. The subcommittee may also consider travel for purposes other than conferences.
The programme has no age limit, but gives preference to early-career candidates embarking on careers in fish biology or fisheries science and studying finfish. Awards support participation and scientific exchange rather than research itself. An independent committee of Council Members considers applicants’ conference contributions, the benefits of their proposed travel, previous and additional funding, seniority, and application quality.
