The 72nd IFLA General Conference will be held in Seoul, Korea, on 20-24 August 2006. The theme for this year's World Library and Information Congress is "Libraries: Dynamic Engines for the Knowledge and Information Society."
If you would like to apply for a travel grant, check out the grant financed by the Korean government for ten citizens of selected Asian countries, including the Philippines. Please note that the grant will cover "travel, registration fee, accommodation and meals." In short, everything! The deadline for applications is on 15 March 2006.
I would have wanted to apply for this grant, but there was this provision: "Priority will be given to younger professionals with a minimum of 5 years of experience in the field of libraries" (emphasis added).
