Small General Grants

FaRiG is pleased to be able to offer small grants towards expenses incurred by Georgian scholars, typically for attending academic conferences, symposia, colloquia and other such international events (particularly when the scholar is delivering a paper or presentation or is a member of a panel). Such grants may be used to top up funding from other sources, eg. when scholars have won an overseas research scholarship (max £300).

The expenses might be conference registration fees, visa fees and/or travel/accommodation costs.

FaRiG can make the payment direct to the event organisers against suitable documentation (thus reducing delays and bank charges) or reimburse the costs after the applicant has incurred them.

Enquiries and applications (in advance of the event) should be sent by email to Megi Kartsivadze on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Successful applicants may not reapply for the following three years.
