International Sociological Association and the Local Congress Organizing Committee of the XVI World Congress of Sociology have made a provision in their budget to support invited speakers, session organizers and paper givers, totalling 665,000 Rand. This amount is made up from an anticipated grant of 250,000 Rand from the UNESCO Participation Programme and another 415,000 Rand taken from the joint ISA-LOC Congress budget.

The grants for the XVI World Congress of Sociology will be allocated by the Grants Committee elected by the ISA Executive Committee in 2004. The Committee shall be composed of four members of the ISA Executive Committee and the Chair of the South African Local Organizing Committee. The Committee shall be chaired by the ISA Vice-President for Finances.

Four categories of grants are proposed:

1. Invited speakers: Presidential Sessions, Author meets the Readers, Symposia
Designated for invited speakers who may not be ISA members and may come from category A countries. Applications shall be sent to the President and the Vice-President for Programme who will make recommendations to the Grants Committee.
