Conferences
IAFPA runs an annual conference to facilitate the exchange of phonetic and acoustic research, methodology and best practice for the analysis of recordings and interpretation of findings, and any other issues pertinent to the organisation’s aims.
Student Travel Grants
We are delighted to offer 3 travel grants of around £250 for Student Members of IAFPA who are self-funding attendance at our conferences. These grants are kindly sponsored by Equinox, the publisher of the International Journal of Speech, Language and the Law, who will offer two grants named after this journal, and by Oxford Wave Research, who are a regular attendee at our conferences. Student members should look out for the call for grant applications prior to each conference.
