The Académie internationale d’héraldique is pleased to offer two bursaries each amounting to a maximum of 600 euros to assist students with travel, accommodation and registration at the Madrid congress. 

Given the extended deadline for the Madrid conference in response to the measures against covid-19, the AIH has decided to extend the deadline for bursary applications accordingly.  

Proposals for papers need to be submitted in the first instance (and separate from the sponsorship application for and documents) by filling out the registration form on the Conference website by 31 October 2020. For full details see the Conference website at https://congresocigh2020.es/?lang=en. Submitted proposals should relate to the conference theme: ‘Social Structures and their Manifestation Through Genealogy and Heraldry’. Please note that your PowerPoint should be in more than one language if possible since the audience will include people of different nationalities. Papers will be considered for publication in the proceedings after acceptance by the Scientific Committee. The Committee does not need to justify its decisions.

Also early career professionals with a proven interest in heraldry are eligible for this sponsorship. Successful applicants for funding must present their work in person at Madrid and are expected to attend the whole conference. Students must supply all supporting documentation for their expenses.
