ICMGP 2022 - Under Represented Group Grant Form


A principal goal of the International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP) conference series is to increase participation by under-represented groups. We address to graduate students and early-stage researchers as well as to representatives of developing nations involved with the mercury problem. To increase participation of these groups at the 15th ICMGP, financial assistance towards conference registration fee is being offered. This will be in the form of a waiver to the registration fee.

Who is a member of an under-represented group?

  1. Representatives of developing countries addressing mercury pollution that are underrepresented at the conference (e.g Africa, S-America and SE-Asia)
  2. Students conducting research on mercury who, without financial support, would be unable to attend the conference
  3. Representatives of communities affected by mercury pollution
  4. List of countries that are seen as under-represented but are not limited to https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/developing-countries
