Grants for conference attendance

The WIFU Foundation awards grants for participation in international research conferences. The aim is to actively support researchers in raising the international profile of their research, building valuable networks and promoting academic exchange.

Through our grants for international research conferences, we strengthen scientific communication by enabling researchers to showcase their findings, discuss them and engage in dialogue with an international specialist audience.
