Against a green background, the text on the left reads, 'BES travel and training grants. This grant supports the training and development of PhD students and postgraduate research assistants. Grants of up to £500 are available.' Then, a dotted line is used as a spacer, and underneath the text reads, 'Applications are now open'. 

On the right side of the infographic is an image of two individuals cycling in Guinea.

Applications for our travel and training grant are now open for two weeks!
