The European Union Center welcomes applications for EUC Professional Development Grants to support conference or workshop travel. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign faculty may submit proposals related to conference presentations or workshops that offer training directly relevant to their teaching and research at the university. The EU Center can provide funding of up to $500 for domestic conference/workshop expenses and up to $1,000 for international conference/workshop expenses, with the stipulation that it be completed by August 15, 2024. We expect to offer multiple awards in each category, depending in part on the individual amounts requested and awarded. This professional development grant is funded by our multi-year U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant. The application can be found at https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/444289168.

All application materials must be submitted by no later than 11:59 pm on Monday, January 15, 2024. Please email any questions to eucenter@illinois.edu. We anticipate announcing awards by January 31, 2024.
