- For strategically important meetings that are anticipated to generate significant UK interest in participating, the LSST:UK Executive Committee will agree a number of participants that can be funded and issue a call for applications. The call will be sent out via the LSST:UK email list and will be noted at the top of this page, and results will normally be advised to applicants within one week of the call deadline.
- Other meetings are funded via a responsive mode mechanism. You may apply for support at any time, though you should aim to complete this travel request at least two months in advance of the planned travel. The result of an application is normally advised within two weeks.
Please note that the University of Edinburgh can only reimburse your institution for the same 80% of the total claim for which STFC will reimburse it, so you must ensure that the remaining 20% of the cost of your trip can be met by another source. Please report the full estimated costs in your application, not the 80% cost for which you seek reimbursement from the Travel Fund.
