RGS-IBG Grants Programme

The Society has a number of grants to support geographical research - for undergraduates, postgraduates, early career and more established researchers. Deadlines vary but many are clustered in November, and then again in January and February. There’s full information online at www.rgs.org/Grants. Please do disseminate widely and encourage those in your groups to apply.


We will be hosting two webinars, one for undergraduate students and one for postgraduate students, to introduce the grants, how to apply and some top tips on writing a strong fieldwork grant application. There will also be the chance to ask questions. Click on the links below to register for the free event.​
