Travel Awards & Lectureships
International Travel Grant Award Program
The International Travel Grant Award Program (ITGAP) was established to promote international scientific collaborations between APS members and physicists in developing countries. Grant recipients receive up to US$2,000 for travel and lodging expenses for international travel while visiting a collaborator for at least one month. The deadline for the next cycle of awards will be announced in the spring of 2008.
Beller Lectureship
The Beller Lectureship was endowed by Esther Hoffman Beller for the purpose of bringing distinguished physicists from abroad as invited speakers at APS meetings.
Marshak Lectureship
The Marshak Lectureship, endowed by the late Ruth Marshak in honor of her late husband and former APS president, Robert Marshak, is to provide travel support for physicists from "developing nations or the Eastern Bloc" invited to speak at APS meetings.
Future program:
APS and the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF) have signed an agreement establishing program that will sponsor the exchange of physicists and physics graduate students between India and the United States.
Learn more about the program in the August/September 2007 issue of APS News.
Other program:
IIASA's Summer Fellowship in Austria for Graduate Students in Natural and Social Sciences, Math, Policy and Engineering. Each summer the unique three-month program offers 50 successful applicants the opportunity to work alongside distinguished IIASA scientists on a project related to their own doctoral research.
