NZ Hydrological Society Travel Grant
PURPOSE
The travel grant is to:
- promote the principal objective of the Society to further the development
of the science of hydrology and its application to the understanding and
management of New Zealand’s water resources
- assist members to travel to enhance their hydrological skills and experience.
The travel grant will ordinarily be given for the following travel purposes:
- assist recent graduates (up to two years after degree has been conferred)
to attend a NZ Hydrological Society Conference to present a paper of which
they are the primary author where financial assistance is not available elsewhere
- assist members to travel overseas to enhance their hydrological skills
and experience
- assist members to travel within New Zealand to enhance their hydrological
skills and experience where financial assistance is not available elsewhere.
The travel grant is not an alternative or supplementary source of funding
for employers.
Grants will not be given retrospectively.
GRANT CONDITIONS
- The grant will be given to members to carry out hydrological research,
visit an institution, attend a conference or similar event, or in some other
way extend their skills and experience in hydrology. Preference will be given
to applicants who intend to carry out active research or make a specific
contribution such as participate in a workshop.
- The recipient will be financial member of the NZ Hydrological Society with
at least two full years standing.
- The amount requested may not exceed 50% of the total travel costs, excluding
salary costs.
- The Society’s executive may invite advice from appropriate people
to help assess applications.
- Up to four Grants may be awarded in any 12-month period, at the Executive’s
discretion.
THE RECIPIENT WILL PROVIDE:
- A brief report on the outcomes resulting from the grant for publication
either in the Journal of Hydrology (New Zealand) or in the Society’s
newsletter (Current) within 3 months of completion of travel, or
- submit a scientific paper on the work to the Journal of Hydrology (New
Zealand) within 12 months of completion of travel, or
- present a relevant paper at the Society’s annual symposium within
12 months of travel.
Recent graduates receiving the grant in order to attend a NZ Hydrological
Society Symposium will be deemed to have fulfilled this requirement on presentation
of their paper.
