TRAVEL AND OTHER EXPENSES FOR SELECTED PARTICIPANTS

The Metropolis Centres are expected to provide travel grants for their researchers, unfunded or partially funded graduate students and NGOs, in accordance with their respective policies and priorities. In order for the conference to be a success, it is important to have a mix of academics, policy-makers, and NGO representatives, among others.


SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION
The Prairie Centre will apply for funding to cover the cost of interpreters and equipment for plenary sessions.
