NSfK provides financial support for conference related travel and study trips abroad. Support is available only for researchers in the field of criminology, based in the Nordic countries. The activities which we support via our travel grants can include:

– participation in conferences in a foreign country
– participation in academic courses in a foreign university (available only for PhD students)

– research stay periods at a foreign university / other foreign research institute
– research trips (e.g. fieldwork abroad)

Please consult the NSfK Guidelines for Grants in order to learn more about the travel grants and the maximum amounts that can be applied for.
