Recipients of an 8th World Conference on Research Integrity Travel Grant
The Secretariat on Responsible Conduct of Research (the Secretariat) launched a Travel Grant competition in November 2023 to promote Canadian attendance at the 8th World Conference on Research Integrity (8th WCRI) in Athens, Greece from June 2 to 5, 2024.
These Travel Grants provide researchers, faculty, graduate students and institutional administrators from Canadian institutions working on, or interested in research integrity, with an opportunity to learn more about the topic from an international perspective and to engage with research integrity and responsible conduct of research practitioners from around the globe.
The Travel Grants for the 8th WCRI offered financial assistance to a maximum of 12 applicants to attend the Conference. The Travel Grants assist with the costs of conference registration, airfare (economy class) and accommodation (single occupancy) expenses up to a maximum of $3,750.00.
