EU GOBLIN COST Action - Travel Support

We would like to draw your attention to the GOBLIN COST Action (CA23147) – “Global Network on Large-Scale, Cross-domain and Multilingual Open Knowledge Graphs” – which offers conference grants to researchers working on Knowledge Graph technologies who have an accepted paper in the main track of a relevant high-level conference, such as ESWC.

The GOBLIN Action travel grants are aimed at action participants only. Joining the action is quick and straightforward. You can apply to join the Working Group(s) of your interest here.

Currently, GOBLIN provides three types of conference grants:

1. Young Researcher and Innovator (YRI) Conference Grants fund a presentation (poster/oral presentation) of own work by a Young Researcher and Innovator in a high-level conference fully organized by a third party, i.e. not organized nor co-organized by the GOBLIN COST Action. The call is open to GOBLIN action participants aged below 40 years. Please check the call for YRI conference grants for more details and the grant application process.
2. Dissemination Conference Grants funds an oral presentation by an action participant of the work of the Action in a high-level conference fully organized by a third party, i.e. not organized nor co-organized by the COST Action.
3. Inclusiveness Target Countries (ITC) Conference Grants fund oral presentations of own work falling within the scope of the GOBLIN Action by an Action Participant affiliated to a legal entity located in an Inclusiveness Target Country / Near Neighbour Country in a high-level conference fully organized by a third party, i.e. not organized nor co-organized by the GOBLIN COST Action. This specific call is open to action participants affiliated in ITCs (Inclusiveness Target Countries) and NNCs (Near Neighbour Countries) countries. The list of elegible countries is available here.

The grant can be used to offset costs such as travel, accommodation, subsistence, and registration fees. We look forward to welcoming GOBLIN-funded participants to Dubrovnik for ESWC 2026, taking place from 10–14 May.
