Grants

The IAH 2026 Congress is pleased to offer a limited number of Support Grants to help groundwater professionals attend the Congress who might not otherwise have the opportunity. These grants aim to promote global participation, diversity, and early-career engagement in hydrogeology. The exact type of support (partial or full) may vary depending on available funding.

Eligibility

• Applicants must submit an abstract to be considered.
• Preference will be given to:
  • Delegates from low and lower-middle income countries (as defined by the World Bank).
  • Early-career professionals and students
  • Applicants with demonstrably limited financial resources

How to Apply

• Pre-register and complete the online form on the Congress website.
• If you already have a user account because you have submitted your abstract, sign in and go to the final registration menu.
• Please make sure to select your registration category in your personal profile (IAH member, non-member, student, or low-income country).
• Select bank transfer, but DO NOT PAY the registration fee now (very important), as if your application is approved, you may not have to pay the registration fee.
• After you have finished, the “Grant” menu will appear on the left-hand side.
