The International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) co-sponsors cryosphere-related workshop, educational or other events that further the IACS Objectives and align with the remits of IACS Divisions, typically up to a maximum of 3000 Euros per event. In years with IACS/IUGG assemblies, priority will be given to travel grants and events at or in close connection with the assemblies. IACS support may include, for example, funding for event organization, registration or travel support for early career scientists or participants from developing countries, and ‘best student’ prizes.

Funding is awarded on a case-by-case basis considering how the funding will further the IACS Objectives, the degree to which the event is international in nature and the total number of applications received. There are two deadlines per year on 1 April and 1 October.
