ITC Grants

ITC Grants are one of the most useful tools to enhance academic cooperation and achievements within a COST Action.

These grants enable the participants from Inclusiveness Target
Countries (listed below) to take part in a conference with an academic paper and presentation that are strongly related to the topic of a COST Action (in the case of our action, Writing Urban Places, this means papers and presentations related to architectural literacy, urban narratives, etc.). ITC grants cover the conference fee, travel expenses, accommodation and meals.
The budget is up to EUR1500 for each applicant and we have four grants
available, in the terms described below:
