Deadline: Friday 22 March - The ECR Bursary is now CLOSED for applications

We are delighted to be able to offer two bursaries to a maximum value of £1,500 sterling each to support the participation of two international Early Career Researchers (ECRs), that is, ECRs from WUN universities outside the U.K. This funding is intended to support the costs of travel, visa application, accommodation and registration. The applications will be judged on financial need and the quality of the abstract and ECR application. Applicants will be asked to confirm that they do not have other sources of funding that could pay for this travel and were unable to secure financial support from their institution to attend the meeting. These bursaries have been generously provided by the University of Leeds through the Knowledge Equity Network and the Horizons Institute (Global Academy Programme).

Definitions and Guidelines

Early Career Researcher: A researcher/academic who is within five years of their PhD award or equivalent professional training.

Eligible applicants are ECRs from WUN universities outside the U.K. where financial considerations are a barrier to attendance.

Bursary is for ECRs who wish to present a paper. The bursary cannot support ECRs aiming to do poster presentation or attend as a delegate.
