The European Association for Research on Adolescence (EARA) will assign several travel grants for early career researchers attending the 20th EARA Conference in Utrecht, the Netherlands (August 18-21, 2026). The following two travel grant opportunities are open for application:

• Regular travel grants: EARA will assign 10 travel grants of up to €500 each for early career researchers attending and presenting their work at the 20th EARA conference in Utrecht.
• Green travel grants: EARA will assign 5 green travel grants of up to €250 each to support early career researchers who opt for sustainable, low carbon travel methods to attend the 20th EARA conference in Utrecht. Supporting green travel is central to EARA’s mission to minimize environmental impact and help guide adolescents our study population and future generation towards responsible and positive choices for our planet.

Potential applicants are invited to choose one of the two calls, as applications to both are not allowed.

Common eligibility criteria:

• To be an early career scholar, defined as someone who is currently working on pre doctorate levels or has obtained a doctoral degree within the last two years.
• To be an EARA member (join or renew online before submitting your application).
• To be the first or presenting author of an abstract (poster, oral presentation, or symposium) accepted for presentation at the EARA conference in Utrecht.
• Previous Travel Grant recipients can apply. However, priority will be given to those who have not yet received an EARA travel grant.
• After the Conference, recipients from both types of travel grants will be asked to provide receipts for the travel expenses and any reimbursed accommodation up to the value of the specific travel grant.
• Both types of travel grants can cover travel and accommodation expenses, with the reimbursed amount determined based on submitted receipts up to the maximum.
