SUPPORT
The African Bioacoustics Community strives to promote research currently taking place on our beautiful continent, highlighting areas for research development and providing a forum to explore future collaboration among African and international partners.
The ABC is run entirely by dedicated volunteers giving their own time to make this dream a success. As such, we are inviting individuals and businesses/organisations to donate or provide sponsorship for our organisation and future events. Your generosity will not only ensure the continuation of this passion project but will also provide you with benefits such as complimentary registration to our next event, acknowledgement on our social media platforms, and promotion of your brand/ company/ research to a community of over 1000 people!

Student Funding
We at the African Bioacoustics Community believe that local and international conferences are wonderful spaces to learn, network and form collaborations. As such they are very important, especially to early-career scientists and students.
However, we are also very aware that finances can be a hurdle for students to get to these important conferences.
Don't hesitate to look for funding at your university or institution, or with the journal you intend to publish in. If you belong to any scientific societies or communities, enquire with them if they have travel funding available to members.
See below for other possible funding options
FILAMO PhD Student Mobility Grant
The Company of Biologists Conference Travel Grants
The Royal Society of Biology Travel Grant
The British Ecological Society Training and Travel Grants
