Q: How do I apply for funding and reimbursement for attending an international conference?

A. Funding applications for attending international conferences are as follows:

• NSTC Grant for Domestic Graduate Students to Attend International Academic Conferences: Please refer to the OGA website: https://oga.site.nthu.edu.tw/p/412-1524-21203.php?Lang=en (In coordination with university procedures, applicants must submit their online application by 4:00 PM on the 1st day of the month preceding the month of the conference. If the 1st falls on a holiday, the deadline is postponed to the next working day. This ensures the OGA can compile all applications and submit them to the NSTC on the same day.)

• NTHU Grant for Graduate Students to Attend International Conferences: Please refer to the OGA website: https://oga.site.nthu.edu.tw/p/412-1524-21203.php?Lang=en

1. Before departure, fill out the "Application for Traveling Abroad" in the Academic Information System. Download the form, obtain your advisor's signature, and submit it to the office.

2. Retain boarding passes for every flight segment, purchase invoices, registration fee payment certificates, etc.

3. After returning, first complete the "Travel Report" and upload it to the NSTC website or the Academic Information System.
