Conference Attendance Fund

Due to COVID-19, applications for the Conference Attendance Fund are currently closed.

The Conference Attendance Fund or CAF was established at the International Council Meeting in Kuala Lumpur in 2016. The purpose of the CAF is to award financial support for attendance at a PPSEAWA International Conference.

2019 CAF AWARD

The application process will open on October 2, 2018, and close on February 22, 2019.

PPSEAWA International Council is offering two CAF grants to cover the registration fee and 6-nights accommodation for two (2) PPSEAWA members to attend the 27th International Conference in Taipei, Taiwan, from June 23-26, 2019, at the Caesar Park Hotel Banqiao.

CAF Grant for PPSEAWA’s 27th International Conference in June 2019 for each recipient includes:

  • $250 conference registration fee
  • 6 nights in an “Explore Twin Room” at the Hotel Cham Cham Taipei (adjacent to the conference venue) with check-in on Saturday, June 22, 2019 and check-out on Friday, June 28, 2019. The twin room has two single beds and will be shared with the other grant recipient. Accommodation address is Hotel Cham Cham – Taipei, No.139, Sec. 1, Zhongshan Road, Banqiao Dist., 22065, New Taipei City, Taiwan

The funding for the award will not be given directly to the recipient; instead, the financial arrangements will be made by a council-appointed liaison with the conference organizer, in coordination with the recipient.

PPSEAWA NMOs should note that the application will be filled out online by the applicant herself, but requires an additional letter of a support/recommendation from her NMO’s executive board. No more than 1 application from any single NMO will be considered to ensure regional balance.
