Financial Support
INQUA's basic goal is to promote and improve communication and international collaboration in basic and applied aspects of Quaternary research. This is achieved through the activities of its Commissions and committees. INQUA provides seed money to support planning for new research and for sharing information and ideas (e.g. workshops, conferences). Monies are not available for research per se. Preference is given to broad, multidisciplinary projects, and to those that are innovative and working on the frontiers of Quaternary science. Proposals involving more than one of the INQUA Commissions are encouraged. Applications from developing countries are encouraged.
The deadline for submitting Project Proposals and Progress Reports for TERPRO projects (see http://www.inqua.org/forms.html) was January 7th, 2012. Several TERPRO sponsored proposals for INQUA funding in 2012 were revised by TERPRO internal referees, and eventually submitted by the TERPRO President to the INQUA Secretary General on January 30th, 2012. Discussion of the proposals and final decision will be done during the Executive Committee Meeting in Brussels in the last week of February 2012.
