Objectives

The Faculty of Law recognizes that travel in the pursuit of research is necessary and important. For this purpose, the Faculty offers grants for travel outside the National Capital Region when circumstances require it. Travel that allows the direct collection of data for research in progress will be considered. Students may conduct interviews, perform archival research or consult documents or works unavailable in the region, or may further develop their research processes by visiting a foreign lab (university or government).

Value

The grants may only be used to cover either travel expenses (train, plane, bus or other) or accommodation expenses (accommodation and meals). Other travel- related expenses will not be reimbursed.

The maximum grant is $550.
