Annual Conference Support Funded Places
In 2024, we funded 100 free places to help members. These places were for postgraduate members, early career research members and members facing severe financial hardship including but not only unwaged members and those in the Category B country membership band.
Hardship Category
We are delighted to confirm that we continued to offer free places in the category of financial hardship. This was to reflect that there are colleagues who sit outside the existing concessionary categories, but for whom financial difficulties may be a barrier to participating in the conference. Where we can, we would like to reduce those barriers. By this we mean the following kinds of situation:
- Being in a fixed-term contract.
- Experiencing a pay cut or other financial restrictions created by university management.
- Working part time at a low pay grade with no other source of income.
We allocated 20 free places to this category in 2024.
APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED.
