Travel Grants and AwardsThe local section provides financial support for some members to attend local and international meetings of the Institute through awards or travel grants. This is particularly important for student members of the section who would otherwise have difficulty in finding the funds to attend International Symposia. Applications are based on merit and need, and are normally considered on a case-by-case basis. Receiving awards or travel grants usually obligates the recipient to provide a report on the conference to the Biennial General Meeting (BGM) of the local section. International Symposium Travel GrantsTravel grants are available for members who are presenting an oral presentation, paper or poster at International Symposia. David Warren Travelling FellowshipThe David Warren Travelling Fellowship Award is a larger award for an outstanding, young researcher in the field of combustion to attend the International Symposium. This prestigious award covers the cost of registration for the Symposium and supports some of the costs of travel to the meeting. Researchers under the age of 35 years, and who are presenting an oral paper at an International Symposium, are eligible to apply. Applicants are expected to have already made a contribution to the field of combustion research and are expected to already hold a PhD in a combustion related field. The award of the David Warren Travelling Fellowship is awarded only when the executive committee feels that the candidate meets a high standard. Asia Pacific Conference on Combustion (ASPACC) Travel GrantsTravel grants are available for members who are presenting an oral paper at the ASPACC, provided that it is at an overseas location. Australian Combustion Symposium Travel GrantsTravel grants are available to student members who are presenting an oral paper at the Australian Combustion Symposium, provided that they reside at least 200km from the conference venue and their supervisor is registered for the meeting.
