The awards are limit to a maximum of 5K Euros per proposal and therefore the expectation is that the funding will be used to lever additional external support or link AE activity into larger projects and initiatives.

Meetings of 'in-country' member groups may be eligible. <br /> <br /> <b>The following conditions apply to the award of grants:</b> </p> <ol><li>That there is no restriction of scope or type of initiative proposed (workshops, regional meetings of Members; participation in international events (as speakers or for dedicated AE sessions), <b>except that funds cannot be used only to support routine meetings of Section committees</b>. </li></ol><ol><li>That proposers should consider where necessary seeking co-operation of one of the Hub offices (although the actual events do not have to physically take place at a Hub location), </li></ol><ol><li>That any initiative <i>should</i> preferably involve <b>at least</b> two Sections or members drawn from across more than one section (including where possible YAE members) and should be held in collaboration with other organisations, including seeking other financial partners, or linked into large international events. </li></ol><ol><li>That proposals should be submitted to the Executive Secretary.
