5th ISA Forum of Sociology
V. Rules for ISA Registration Grants Allocation
Rules
Each Research Committee (RC), Working Group (WG) and Thematic Group (TG) is responsible for allocating registration grant(s) to person(s) selected by its Board, following the criteria established by the ISA.
Eligibility
Individual ISA member - Registration grants can be allocated to individual ISA members in good standing (i.e., those who have paid the individual membership fee) and who are active participants in the conference program.
Program Coordinator - In addition to registration grants for active program participants, each RC/WG/TG will receive a registration grant for one Program Coordinator. (Note: In the event of multiple program coordinators in an RC/WG/TG, only one grant will be provided.)
How to apply
The participants must send an e-mail requesting a registration grant directly to the RC/WG/TG Program Coordinators by January 31, 2025. Applications for a grant can be submitted to only one RC/WG/TG.
Selection process
- Each RC/WG/TG will select candidates and allocate the funds available for that group. The Program Coordinator will decide on allocation in consultation with the RC/WG/TG President and Secretary, and the results will be published on the ISA conference website.
- A backup list of potential grant recipients in order of priority shall also be prepared to be used in case someone cancels participation or has been allocated a grant by another RC/WG/TG.
- It is recommended to avoid repetition of the same persons who have received grants for previous conferences.
- The full amount of the registration grant has to be allocated to a grantee; grants are not paid in cash, but a special code will be given to each participant.
- A list of selected individuals (including the program coordinator) and registration grant amounts must be sent by the Program Coordinator to the ISA Secretariat at isa@isa-sociology.org before February 15, 2025, for verification and approval.
- Each Registration grant will be handled directly by the ISA Secretariat prior to the early registration deadline of the conference, March 22, 2025.
