The travel grants are limited to a maximum of 2000 EUR per application. Smaller sums and co-financed projects have a better prospect of acceptance. Supported items include air fare (economy class only), ground transportation and accommodation.
The travel grants cannot be used for participation in the AKSE conference, nor for conferences organized or supported by Korean governmental organizations/agencies including the AKS and King Sejong Institute. For AKSE conference travel subsidies, please check the AKSE conference webpage.
*Grant recipients can have multiple funding sources for the same trip as long as double funding of identical items is avoided and the travel is not already supported by a Korean government agency.
