Early Career Scholars, participants who have received a graduate research degree (e.g., PhD) within the past seven years (late 2019 or later) or who are in a graduate program leading to such a degree, may be eligible to apply for travel grants to join the pre-conference workshops and attend the conference.

Pre-conference Workshops for Early Career Scholars

The International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development is planning several pre-conference workshops specially for early career scholars – participants, who received a graduate research degree (e.g., PhD) within the past seven years or who are in a graduate program leading to such a degree – to be held in Incheon on June 21, 2026, the day before the main ISSBD 2026 sessions start. ISSBD anticipates providing travel support for a number of qualified early career scholars to attend one of these pre-conference workshops and the ISSBD 2026 conference. Applications from early career scholars from any country are welcome.  Please note that travel grants will only be awarded to early career scholars who apply for and attend one of the pre-conference workshops AND who have at least one abstract accepted for the 2026 Biennial Meeting. Please also note that this is a new competition and that all early career scholars need to apply to be eligible for travel grants and pre-conference workshops for the 2026 meeting.
