Q: I am very interested in attending conferences etc., and I was wondering whether it was possible to get a scholarship from ICW?
A: As we are a small organisation with limited funds, we do not give individuals scholarships. We can help you by giving information on how to obtain a scholarship from conference secretariat/conference organisers, however we urge you to contact the conference organisers first.

A: We post information on future conferences on the front page of our website, so please check the website on a regular basis. There is also the events and conference calendar.
