Research Travel Grant Sub-Committee

Background

The Research Travel Grant (RTG) Fund was established as part of the Research Endowment Trust Fund (RETF) to support the travel and registration costs associated with the dissemination of research 'outcomes' at international events and conferences.

Every year, the RTG fund assists hundreds of University staff and students to present their research around the world, enhancing both their own careers and the reputation of the University.
