Early Career Forum Regional Event Funding

In 2023, three early career events were accepted to be held throughout the UK. These one-day events express the diversity and dynamism of the early career experience. It is hoped that they will become an annual series in the BSA calendar with a variety of engaging early career events taking place in regions across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We would love to hear from any early career organisers who are interested in holding such an event – either at their institution or the BSA meeting room in London – and who are willing to coordinate with speakers and the BSA to organise this.

The BSA will provide up to £1,000 support for the event, which can be used to pay for room hire, speakers expenses, lunch and refreshments. Please note that alcohol cannot be purchased using BSA funds.

If the anticipated event costs are likely to exceed the funding available, organisers are encouraged to seek a contribution from the host institution, such as free meeting room or a financial contribution to refreshments, or to charge an attendance fee for the event. The BSA Office will help to promote and publicise the events through a number of outlets including flyers in membership packs, the BSA website and member newsletters.

All applicants must be a current BSA member. Find out how to become a BSA member.

Applications are CLOSED.
