Prizes & Grants

The AILC-ICLA offers a number of prizes, grants and subventions to its members.

The focus is especially on Early Careers Researchers (including doctoral students), but we also aim to support mid-career and senior scholars, especially in cases when their circumstances do not allow them to fund their travel to ICLA Congresses.

 

The ICLA also gives financial support to:
