It’s hard to respond with too much detail here because it’s a changing landscape and I’m not sure what things will look like in six months or even a year. But broadly speaking I expect the policies to be different for EAGs and EAGx’s, and also to vary between EAGx conferences (some EAGx events wouldn’t really work without travel support, whereas others would work roughly fine).
For EAGs in particular, we’ll assess each case individually (taking into account to what extent they’d be unable to attend without support) but expect to not be able to give out much travel grants overall — if I had to ballpark make a guess here I’d say ~10% of what we gave this year (but again the landscape might change, so don’t take this too literally).
(Someone else commented about applicants from LMICs — this is minor but I’ll note that we don’t get too many applications from LMICs and the bulk of travel grant applications are from people living in the “standard” countries you’d expect, like the US, UK, and Europe.)
