Aim

The aim of an IRG Travel Award is to contribute to the realization of the scientific objectives of the IRG.

The Award shall strengthen the existing networks by allowing scientists to go to a laboratory in another country, or in some instances within their own country, to learn a new technique or to make measurements using instruments and/or methods not available in their own laboratory.
