The Goldschmidt Conference is the joint annual meeting of the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry. Both societies are committed to making the conference accessible to students and early career scientists. The Goldschmidt Grant Program provides funding from a variety of sources to help students and early career scientists attend the meeting. The societies devote our own resources to these grants and well as seeking outside support. A major goal of the program is opening the meeting to scientists from countries and backgrounds that have often lacked the resources to participate.

Information for the 2026 grant program will be available later this year.

The Geochemical Society gratefully acknowledges Elsevier and the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta for support of grants for students from countries with low and lower-middle income economies.

Support Student Grants

All contributions to the travel grant program go to support students and early career scientists from low-income countries and underrepresented groups. 100% of your donation goes to the grants; the societies do not collect overhead or indirect costs. Grant recipients present either a poster or talk, participate in a mentorship program, have access to workshops, and take part in social events where they can build international networks of collaborators.
