@saurabh_ss21 Dear Saurabh, unfortunantly we do not have funding for travel grants. What we will try to do is reduce the registration fees for students as much as possible.

@JoaoCDuarte Dear Professor Duarte, Thanks for posting the link for the conference. Could you please be kind enough to let me know if there is any travel grant possible for international students?? Thanks :)

You can now submit your abstract to GeoMOD 2025 at geomod2025.com The registration and payment will take place between April 30th and May 31st. #geomod #geomod2025 #geodynamicmodelling #geology #IDL #tectonicmodelling #fcul #science

It is sad to see this timeline going to shit. A society that does not respect its heroes is doomed to failure. We hope you can somehow fight this. We have your back and will never walk alone. You should be proud of who you are. You are our heroes!
