General information
Grant applications & tickets
As in previous years, we are pleased to offer a number of full grants to our members. While availability remains limited, applicants who are not awarded a grant will have the opportunity to purchase a ticket and participate in all seminar activities.
Please note that, as of 2026, ENGAGe requires formal confirmation from the leader of your association that you are authorised to represent them at PAS. This additional step has been introduced to support a clearer and more transparent application process. It ensures that each association is informed of who is applying to represent them at PAS and confirms its agreement that the grant, if awarded, will be assigned to that applicant.
We understand that some applicants are association leaders themselves. In that case, nothing changes: please enter the same person as both the applicant and the leader.
