Global Doctoral Symposium Sponsorship
The ICDE Global Doctoral Symposium (GDS) initiative aims to support the future talents and leaders within the field of inclusive education. This special network of Doctoral students and candidates are invited to gather in person for a special pre-conference doctoral symposium in conjunction with the 30th ICDE World Conference in Wellington, New Zealand, 10-13 Nov 2025. We know from experience that many students cannot afford the travel costs to attend such an event. In order to facilitate inclusive access and participation, we ask for financial support for travel grants. The grants will be distributed to eligible members of the ICDE Global Doctoral Consortium by the selection criteria below, approved by the ICDE World Conference 2025 Organizing Committee
Please contact the ICDE World Conference 2025 organizers at claire@conference.nz, if you interested in becoming a sponsor. Alternatively, download the sponsorship scheme information and complete the application form below.
