23 Young Geomorphologists from 10 less-favoured countries worldwide will be granted, which is a great achievement for the IAG. These Young Geomorphologists come from Argentina, Brazil, Cameroon, China, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq and Mexico.
All the IAG-grants holders will take part in the post-conference IAG-EGU Intensive Course, also thanks to the funding of 3000 euros that we will receive from the EGU.
Among the IAG-grant holders the GFG (French Geomorphology Group) will indicate the Tricart Scholar 2017. IAG would like to recall that the GFG supported the IAG grant programme offering 1500 euros.
In addition, 2 Early career researchers (from Germany and Costa Rica) will be granted in the frame of the IPA-IAG Agreement (IAG will offer free registration in the Conference and Intensive Course and IPA will provide a budget of 300 euros).
IAG was able to offer free registration in the 9th ICG to the granted Young Geomorphologists thanks to the outstanding efforts made by Prof. Sunil Kumar De and the Conference Organizers (only one YG will not receive free registration, but this was his choice).
