2026 Pan-GLASS Conference

Jul 6 - 9, 2026 | Stuttgart, Germany

Financial Support

Limited financial assistance in the form of travel support and/or fee waivers is available to enable and support the participation of students, early career researchers (ECR1s) and scientists from certain developing countries in the 1st Pan-GLASS Conference (Pan-GLASS 2026). 

Assistance will be assigned based on financial need and scientific merit of the proposed presentation described in the abstract, the applicant’s contribution to the Pan-GLASS 2026 and their provision of all supporting documents (see below). Applicants must attend the entire conference in order to qualify for the financial assistance. 
Note that the travel support will most likely not cover the entire cost of attending the Pan-GLASS 2026; therefore, applicants are strongly advised to secure partial support from other sources.

Priority will be given to:

  • Students: those pursuing their graduate studies (M.Sc. or Ph.D.);
  • Early Career Researchers1
  • Scientists from certain developing countries.

1An Early Career Researcher (ECR) is an undergraduate or postgraduate (Masters/PhD) student or a scientist who has received the highest degree (BSc, MSc, or PhD) within the past six years. Provided parental leave fell into that period, up to one year of parental leave time may be added per child, where appropriate with a maximum of four years total.


How to Apply for Financial Support

During the registration process, you can apply for financial support in a designated section of the registration form. In order to qualify for financial support, applicants must SUBMIT ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

  1. An abstract of a scientific paper to the Pan-GLASS 2026, of which the applicant is the principal author and is also the presenter at the conference.
  2. A brief statement (300 words maximum) indicating the scientific motivation and expected benefits of the applicant’s participation at the Pan-GLASS 2026. In addition, the applicant must state if they have received support from WMO or WCRP in the past.

As already mentioned above, we strongly encourage the applicant to secure a significant proportion of support from national or institutional sources, as the financial support granted by the organizing committee does not usually cover all costs of attending the conference.
