The Conference Contribution Award provides up to £400 of funding to support academic staff and research students presenting their research at conferences. This award is designed to assist with the costs associated with active participation in academic or professional conferences, specifically, where the applicant is delivering a paper, poster, panel contribution, or other research presentation. Please note: this funding cannot be used solely for conference attendance. Applicants must be presenting their own research at the event.
Applications must include evidence of Line Manager’s support (or Principal Supervisor, for a student). Approval will be subject to availability of resources.
Key evaluation criteria are: viability; intended short- and longer-term outcomes in terms of research income and collaborative partnerships; contribution to applicant’s research career development; published outputs; contribution to Faculty/University research capacity; contribution to a student’s programme of study and personal development.
Successful applicants will be required to submit a report to the Research Office after the conference date.
Please note that individuals can only submit one Research Conference Contribution Award application a year.
