Applications are particularly encouraged from individuals who would not normally have access to travel funding or support to attend international conferences. The intent of this award is to enable participation from early-career professionals who may otherwise be unable to attend due to financial constraints. Note:Â If your employer, institution, or another organisation is already covering your travel costs, you are not eligible for this award.
To maintain the integrity and authenticity of the application process, applicants are expected to submit original responses that reflect their own ideas, experiences, and writing (we are looking for authenticity). The use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.) to create your application responses is not permitted. By submitting this application, you confirm that all responses are your own original work.
The Water Loss Specialist Group reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to withdraw, reject, or discontinue any application at any time and without obligation to provide any explanation or justification. The Group further reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the programme, in whole or in part, at any stage—whether prior to commencement or during its course—without prior notice and without incurring any liability to any party for any costs, losses, or damages arising directly or indirectly from such actions.  Â
By submitting an application for the Young Water Professionals Travel Award, the applicant acknowledges and agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions. Submission of an application constitutes full and unconditional acceptance of all provisions contained herein.                    Â
