Grants and Competitions
This page provides information on various grants and competitions available through INASP.
Competitions
Electronic Resource Promotion Competition
This competition invites librarians and consortia to outline their marketing and promotion plans for the year and enter to win one of 10 small grants to use towards the implementation of their plans.
We are encouraging our partner and network countries to use Open Access Week to showcase the activities that universities and research institutions within developing and emerging countries are planning and doing.
Grants
The grants below offer the opportunity for activities and events that fall outside of our core programme areas and/or our partner countries. They also invite proposals from a wide range of individuals and institutions. If you would like to know more about events already happening in your country, please contact your Country Coordinator. Their details can be found on your country page (use the drop down list on the right-hand side of the page). You can also visit the INASP events calendar or featured events pages.
