Scholarships

Young scholars and informal researchers are encouraged to apply for partial or total coverage of their participation expenses.

Scholarship funds are partially provided by the conference’s patrons. While TUR2025 recognises its outmost appreciation to its donors, it’s the firm belief of the scientific committee that the support to unsponsored deserving candidates should be even wider. Therefore, the committee decided to use a share of the participants’ fees for further funding.

As a minimum objective, one full scholarship (covering all expenses, including international travel) and two partial scholarships (excluding international travel) will be awarded to the most meritorious candidates. A wider attendance of paying participants will allow further extension of the scholarship programme.

Applications will be accepted until the end of May, 2025.

Please, submit your request, including curriculum vitae, recommendation letters and relevant research work, to scholarshipsTUR2025@gmail.com.

Fees and travel

Madagascar is a colourful, welcoming emerging country. Its allure, scenery and people make all travellers enjoy their visit and easily pass over some environmental challenges.

However, organising a do-it-yourself trip to Madagascar can prove to be a complex exercise.

In the framework of its conference activities, TUR2025 provides participants with full logistical support, including international and internal travel, accommodation, field trips. Individual participation fees may vary, depending on the accommodation chosen.

Additional excursions and travel options are available to participants willing to further dive into the charms of the Country.
