Special Activity Fund
The Special Activity Fund (SAF) is open to applications for high-profile, ‘out-of-the-box’ not-for-profit activities with high visibility and large impact, for which no funding sources in the ordinary annual EGU e.V. budget are suited and/or can be created. See here for information about EGU funding sources for training schools and topical meetings. Applicants should be EGU members.
In principle, applications could amount to 20-25 k€, but more ambitious projects could also be considered if duly justified.
Eligibility criteria
Applications should not be aimed at financing solely research activities, any kind of activism nor at funding of personal expenses of any kind (like travel support to attend scientific meetings, etc.). Proposals therefore:
- should be related to and contribute to EGU’s goals and mission;
- should comply with EGU’s principles on equality, diversity and inclusivity;
- should comply with EGU’s code of conduct
- should have a high visibility and large impact;
- should be specific and well-justified;
- could target, e.g., not-for-profit activities of, and for, under-represented or less-well-resourced communities, with a wide geographical spread that will enhance EGU’s visibility;
- do not need to suggest activities directly related to the General Assembly;
- could be proposed by EGU members, Divisions, Committees and Working Groups;
- should be submitted in compliance with the digital format provided by the EGU Office.
