About the TGP
The Travel Grant Program is aimed at increasing the diversity, impact, and reach of the conference. We are looking for worthy recipients who are committed to make an impact with the opportunity provided, and we want to stretch our limited budget as widely as possible.
Our goals include:
- Bringing the power of Open Geospatial to a wide audience
- Helping individuals become engaged in the development of Open Geospatial Software, Data and Standards
- Reaching, empowering and giving a voice to a diverse community, including those who might not have the financial or social means to attend the conference
