The TICCIH World Congress 2025 will be held in Kiruna, Sweden from 25th to 30th August 2025 and will explore the theme of ‘Heritage in Action.’ More information on the congress can be found at its website: https://ticcih2025-kiruna.se.

For this congress, TICCIH is offering a limited number of Travel Grants for students and young professionals to help them offset some of the expenses of attending the Congress. The Grants have been made possible by recent donations to TICCIH.

Who is eligible?

To be eligible to apply, you must be a registered member of TICCIH International (www.ticcih.org) and be actively involved in industrial heritage. Applicants can be graduates, post-graduates, early-career scholars, or emerging professionals whose papers have been accepted for the Scientific Programme of our 2025 World Congress. Special preference will be given to participants from low-income countries who are not able to receive sufficient financial support elsewhere.

Note that these travel grants are not intended to cover the full costs of attending the Congress, and may be used to buy bus/train/ferry/flight tickets, accommodation, and/or registration fee.

How do I apply?

The Travel Grant Application Form (PDF Download) must be completed and sent by 1 May 2025 as an e-mail attachment to secretary@ticcih.org. In addition to the information provided in the application form, please attach a short CV or bio, as well as an appropriate document proving your status (a scan of your student’s ID or supervisor’s/professor’s letter if applicable).

If successful, the reimbursement will be made after the accepted paper is presented in person by the Grantee at the Congress. Please note that all money transactions can be made only after or during the Congress, not before. In addition, successful applicants should make sure that they save and retain original tickets and invoices for submission to the Treasurer during the Congress.

Deadlines

Completed applications, together with applicable attachments, should be submitted by e-mail by 1st May 2025. The grants will be announced in early June.
