International Travel Grants
Call for applications will be re-opened in due course
The requests for NSF support for overseas travel to attend scientific meetings/conferences are considered on the basis of three geographical regions. (i.e. SAARC, Asia- Pacific and Africa-America-Europe regions). Only resident Sri Lankan scientists and technologists are eligible to apply. Every application requires a strong recommendation from the Head of the Institute and should be linked to an on-going R&D activity.
The NSF Overseas Travel Grants scheme would not cover training programmes/ purposes or participation at workshops. Please submit Overseas Special Training Programme (OSTP) application form for such purposes.
