Funding is tight and it can be hard to arrange trips abroad to do field or archival research. Once you have a budget and a set schedule, it is imperative that every moment of your trip counts to its fullest. Moreover, careful preparation can also be useful in convincing grant-giving institutions that your project is worth funding. In this meeting moderated by EUCE/ESC Director Ron Linden, a panel of graduate students will share their experiences researching abroad (what worked and what didn’t), answer questions, and offer practical advice.
