Staff Conference Fund

The Staff Conference Fund exists to offer financial support to encourage staff, in particular early career research staff to present their research at international conferences.

IMPORTANT: Please note that no more Minor Awards can be made in this financial year (1 August to 31 July) to staff in the following faculties:

Brain Sciences
Built Environment
Engineering Sciences
Life Sciences
Mathematical & Physical Sciences
Medical Sciences
Population Health Sciences

Eligibility

In order to apply to this Fund you must be:

An Academic Staff member (not Honorary, Associate or Teaching Staff), who has been in continuous employment with UCL for at least six months at the time of the conference.
Presenting a paper or poster, or taking some formal part in the proceedings.

If you are requesting funding for a research project or trip, please apply to the Graduate School's Research Projects Fund.

Awards Available:

There are two categories of award: Major (requests for OVER £250) and Minor (requests for £250 OR LESS). The rules for submitting each type of application are different so please make sure the appropriate instructions are followed. Please note:

The deadlines for submitting Major Award applications to the Graduate School in 2012 are Friday 27 April and Friday 26 October 2012.
Applications for Minor Awards do not have a deadline but are considered on an ad hoc basis (funds permitting). In view of the heavy demands made on these funds, it is anticipated that Minor Awards will not be available from approx. late April until the start of the next financial year on 1st August.
No more than 50% of the total cost of expenses to attend a conference (including registration fees) will be awarded by the Graduate School.

All queries should be directed to the Graduate School on ext. 37840 or email gradschool@ucl.ac.uk
