CATSA International Student Travel Grant 2026

The CATSA International Student Travel Grant provides financial support for postgraduate students engaged in catalysis research to present their work at recognized international catalysis conferences and training schools. The programme funds attendance at international conferences, the annual CATSA conference, and relevant summer school training, with support varying by category. It is aimed at MSc and PhD students enrolled at South African higher education institutions. The grant seeks to reduce financial barriers to conference participation and enhance the international exposure and development of early-career catalysis researchers.

Coverage of registration, travel, and subsistence for international conferences and summer school attendance in certain categories; travel-only support for the annual CATSA conference (accommodation and subsistence excluded).

Postgraduate students actively engaged in catalysis research, including MSc and PhD students enrolled at South African higher education institutions, preparing to present at recognized international conferences or training programmes. Applicants must provide evidence of acceptance or participation and supervisor confirmation.

Submit conference details and peer-review information, submitted abstract or paper, official acceptance letter, and supervisor confirmation along with any additional materials required by CATSA.
