Grants
IAS sponsors selected sedimentology-related meetings by awarding travel grants to participating IAS student members. These help to alleviate the overall costs students face when participating in such meetings.
These ideal for funding sedimentological analyses or field data collection that are related to, but not covered by, existing PhD bursaries. They can be used for testing new ideas that have arisen from the PhD research, visiting other institutes to use specialized facilities, or for collecting supplementary data. Up to 10 grants of up to 1,000 Euro each, twice per year.
These provide seed funding to assist early-career post-doctoral researchers in either establishing a proof of concept, in order to support applications to national research funding bodies, or to fund areas of a project that were not included in the original project scope. Up to 4 grants of up to 2,500 Euro each, twice per year.
These aim to promote sedimentological fieldwork skills and observations for the newest generation of earth scientists. The awarded budget specifically supports MSc students for their dissertation work in the field. Up to 5 grants of 300 Euro each twice per year.
These are dedicated to capacity building in less-developed countries, allowing Earth Science departments to acquire sedimentological equipment for teaching and research.
Institutional and Research Grants have two closing dates on 31st March and 30th September each year. Guidelines and application forms are available through member login to the website.
Travel grants are advertised in the e-Newsletter and IAS social media as they are opened. Guidelines, closing dates and application forms are available through student member login to the website.
International Sedimentological Congress
The International Sedimentological Congress (ISC) is organized every four years. The conference aims to gather participants from all over the world to discuss and share the most recent advances in the broad field of sedimentology. IAS members enjoy significantly reduced registration fees.
International Meetings of Sedimentology
IAS Meetings of Sedimentology are held each year except for the year an International Sedimentological Congress takes place. This regional meeting gathers participants to discuss and share the most recent advances in the field of sedimentology. IAS members enjoy significantly reduced registration fees.
IAS Summer School
The IAS International Summer School of Sedimentology provides post-graduate research students an opportunity to interact with expert lecturers who focus on new and exciting topics in sedimentology presented as field observations and exercises backed up with classroom lectures. The biannual IAS Summer School is always held in an area of widely recognized sedimentological significance.
Special Lecture Tour
IAS Special Lecture Tours (SLT) allow sedimentology groups to invite a well-known expert to give lectures and short courses in their country. The lectures are usually accompanied by round-table discussions and local field trips.
Sponsored Meetings
IAS financially sponsors selected sedimentology-related meetings and events, usually in the form of awarding student travel grants to support PhD and other students with their sedimentology studies. The IAS also supports conferences by giving them additional exposure on the IAS website and in its e-Newsletter.
