Therefore, BII is now offering grants for online participatiion in paid virtual or hybrid conferences held in Germany for foreign professionals – and participation of international online conferences for German professionals.
If you are interested in professional topic, if you want to network with a specific library or information community, if you are curious about an annual conference of an association you have always wanted to visit in Germany – and which is all now held online but with some additional costs along, you can now take advantage of a grant from BI-International.
Librarians and Information Professionals may receive full funding to virtually attend a paid hybrid or online conference in Germany. This applies to participation fees from € 50, or € 100 for applicants from high-income countries.
