Call for Grants for the II European Young Geomorphologists Meeting (Italy/Slovenia/Croatia, 25-27 June 2026)
The International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) announces the offering of 1 travel grant of 400 euros (four hundred Euros) to support the participation of one Young Geomorphologist (except from Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia) in the II European Young Geomorphologists Meeting (II EYGM) (Italy, Croatia, 25–27 June 2026).
The event is organised by the Italian Young Geomorphologists’ Coordinators of AIGeo, the Young Geomorphologists of Croatia (YGC), and the Geomorphological Society of Slovenia. Its aim is to strengthen relations with geomorphological associations in neighbouring countries and, more broadly, to promote cooperation among young geomorphologists from Europe and beyond. It seeks to foster scientific exchange, the sharing of research experiences, and the creation of an international network of early-career researchers in geomorphology.
The event begins with a day dedicated to participant introductions, research presentations, and an excursion around Ogulin (Croatia), concluding with an evening session on the geological and geomorphological setting of the region. The second day focuses on visits to key karst and canyon sites across Croatia and Slovenia before the group settles in Trieste (Italy). The final day is devoted to exploring the Val Rosandra Nature Reserve in Italy, with field activities taking place throughout the day before returning to Trieste. The IAG grant holder will be granted free admission to the event.
