This page contains information about financial assistance for travel
to the 42st annual meeting of the CEA, to be held at the University of
British Columbia, Vancouver, June 6-8, 2008.
The Canadian Economics Association, with the financial support of the
Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, provides travel
assistance to a limited number of participants in the annual meetings
of the Canadian Economics Association. Please note that CEA travel
grants only cover part of the cost of travel to the meetings, and
successful applicants should still expect to incur some additional
travel costs.
The number of travel grants given will depend upon the level of
funding that the CEA receives from the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council. SSHRC funds, and hence the number of travel grants
available, will not be confirmed until April, 2008.
The following criteria are used to determine who will receive travel
grants: - Grants will only be given to
individuals who are current (2008) members of the Canadian Economics
Association.
- Grants will only be given to
individuals who are presenting a paper or participating in a poster
session at the CEA meetings.
- Priority is given
to Canadian applicants. Individuals located outside of North America
should not apply.
- Priority is given first to
graduate students and second to faculty at institutions outside
Canada's large urban centres (e.g. UNBC, MUN, U Winnipeg).
- Priority is given to those who have no other source of
funds to finance travel to the CEA meetings.
- Previous travel grant award recipients receive lower
funding priority.
