Computers & Geosciences Research Scholarships (C&G) Grant

Funder: International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG)

The Computers & Geosciences Research Scholarships provide funding for early career scientists in computational geosciences and geoinformatics. Annually, two to four scholarships are awarded with a total budget of $10,000. Eligible candidates include postgraduate students and recent Ph.D. graduates. The scholarships support research projects aligned with the journal's Aims & Scope, fostering collaboration and scientific dialogue in the field.

Between two and four Computers & Geosciences Research Scholarships will be awarded every year, to early career scientists (postgraduate students i.e. Masters or Doctoral candidates, or Post-Doctoral researchers) working in the field of computational geosciences or geoinformatics. The total annual budget for these scholarships is US$10,000.
Research projects should lie within the Aims & Scope of Computers & Geosciences, as outlined on the journal’s webpage http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-geosciences/. The awarded funds may be used either to support the applicant’s project in their home institution or to undertake a period of research at a different university or commercial/industry laboratory. The Computers & Geosciences Research Scholarships are intended to encourage graduate students and post-doctoral researchers working in the fields of geocomputation and geoinformatics, and particularly to foster the scientific dialogue which Elsevier andIAMG believe to be fundamental to the advancement of research by exchanging ideas and expertise with others in the field.

Eligibility
