2026 ACIS Conference - Travel Scholarships

ACIS aim to support travel and accommodation expenses of PhD students, precarious scholars and Indigenous scholars working on Italian Studies at Australian and New Zealand universities and presenting at the conference.

Conference participants who have been accepted to present are now invited to submit their travel receipts together with an invoice with bank details to the Australasian Centre for Italian Studies, ABN: 13682544369, via email (admin@acis.org.au).

ACIS will consider all submissions on a first-come, first-served basis until allocated funds are exhausted.

Please note that ACIS will reimburse all confirmed expenses immediately after the end of the conference (26-29 July 2026).

Per-person reimbursement amounts are capped as follows:

PhD students, precarious scholars and Indigenous scholars based in New Zealand: up to AUD$850

PhD students, precarious scholars and Indigenous scholars based in an Australian city other than the host city: up to AUD$650

Given the limited funds, we encourage eligible students and scholars to apply for funding from their university in the first instance.
