WGC2020 Fellowships

3 January 2020

Next week, an email with information on the amount of individual Fellowships will be sent to those Fellows who applied for the WGC2020 Fellowship and were deemed eligible.  

As stated previously, the Fellowships are to be considered as partial funding towards attending the Congress.  Minimum Fellowships will cover the registration fee, and for most Fellows it will also cover hotel accommodation for 6 nights (based on sharing a two-person hotel room), in some cases it will also involve partial support towards a flight ticket. 

The final amount awarded to each eligible Fellow will be based on:

  • The Congress’ registration fee according to the IGA regulations / World Bank criteria for developing countries
  • Hotel price for a double room (two persons per room) at Hotel Cabin from April 26 – May 2
  • Transport price from the applicant’s resident country to Iceland

The Fellowship will be awarded on the condition that the recipient does not receive other funding for the same purpose.  If you have applied or are receiving funding from elsewhere (either partial or full) please let us know.  

For those how are not able, or are not intending to attend the Congress, please let us know immediately!
