The International Astronautical Federation (IAF) has begun a new programme to provide grants that enable students and young space professionals to participate in IAF activities, in particular the International Astronautical Congress. The first step in this initiative involves the selection of up to ten young people whose participation in the 2009 International Astronautical Congress in Daejeon, Republic of Korea from 12 to 16 October(IAC) will be supported by the IAF.
The IAC 2009 Youth Grants Programme is open to individuals between the ages of 21 and 33 on 1 January 2009. Candidates may apply regardless of their home country or current residence. While all applications will be considered the IAF through this programme seeks to encourage applications from candidates in nations with emerging space capabilities and interests who would otherwise not be able to attend an International Astronautical Congress. The deadline for applications is 1 June 2009.
