You are cordially invited to the 35th International Geological Congress that

the organizing committee is offering travel grants to YES members through the

support to selected young earth scientists from around the globe, or eligible
geoscientists who live and work in low-income countries to attend the 35TH IGC
in 2016. Financial support obtained by the 35th IGC through sponsorship or
funding mechanisms will be utilised to assist young geoscientists (inclusive of
YES participants) and deserving geoscientists from low-income countries to
participate in the 35TH IGC as full delegates. For more information, please
