The International Association of Sedimentologists is proud to announce that Poppe de Boer, Past President of IAS, has agreed to conduct the IAS Lecture Tour in 2016-2017 with a lecture on “Modern versus ancient controls on sedimentary systems; the present is not always the key to the past”.
IAS Grants & sponsorship
In order to promote the study of Sedimentology, one of the goals of the IAS is to help PhD and other students with their Sedimentology studies. Therefore, the IAS offers two types of grants: the Postgraduate Grant Scheme (PGS) and travel grants for IAS-sponsored conferences.
A second goal is to stimulate sedimentology in developing countries with the Institutional IAS Grant Scheme (IIGS).
Finally, the IAS takes sponsorship in several Sedimentology related conferences, workshops, summer schools,... The IAS also offers regional Sedimentological organizations logistic support, a.o. through the use of its on-line facilities (web site hosting, payments,...).
Postgraduate Grant SchemeIntended to assist postgraduates in their field work, data acquisition and analysis, visits to other institutes to use specialised facilities, or participation in field excursions directly related to the PhD research subject. Up to 10 grants, each of about 1000€ are awarded twice a year. |
Institutional IAS Grant SchemeA special grant scheme meant for capacity building in developing countries, based on the 'Least Developed Countries' list by the UN. Intended to allow Geology Departments acquire Sedimentological equipment for teaching and research. One grant of 10,000€ is awarded twice a year. |
Travel Grant SchemeFor selected Sedimentology related meetings — sponsored or partially sponsored by the IAS — students can request a travel grant. |
IAS sponsorship & logistic supportThe IAS is always willing to financially and logistically support regional Sedimentological organizations and conferences. |
