Awards Available to Members


Heiligenberg Student (Travel) Awards - HSA

Heiligenberg Student Travel Awards are awarded annually to qualified students who wish to present work in the field of neuroethology at selected national and international scientific meetings. Six awards or more (depending on the availability of funds) are available each year. The awards may cover expenses such as travel to and from the conference site, conference registration fee, and/or housing costs up to a total of $700.

Six Heiligenberg student travel awards are available to attend the Gordon Conference in Oxford this August. Applications should be addressed to Catherine Carr.

The highest priorities will be International Congress for Neuroethology and Gordon Research Conference in neuroethology, during the years when these conferences take place. During years when the International Congress for Neuroethology or Gordon Research Conference are not held, the awards can be used to support travels to major regional meetings, such as the Neuroscience meeting, Goettingen meeting, European Neuroscience meeting, and Asia-Pacific Neuroscience meeting.

The award is given in honor of Walter Heiligenberg, who was a distinguished neuroethologist, and a pioneer in the field.

Qualifications: Both the student and the student's mentor must be ISN members by the deadline of application (to be decided by the selection committee). Applicants must be registered graduate students at a university, and must plan on presenting their work at the conference. Priorities will be given to applicants who have demonstrated academic excellence and research potential as evidenced by the abstract of the work to be presented and the recommendation letters. Applicants with demonstrated financial needs also will be considered for these awards. Preferences will be given to applicants who have not previously received the award.

To apply, fill out the application form below and have letters of recommendation from two ISN members submitted to the Society Office. Applications are reviewed two to three times per year. For more information, contact the Heiligenberg Student Travel Award Committee:
