Conference Grants
BANEA has a small amount of funding available to widen participation for its bi-annual conferences and facilitate access for those otherwise unable to attend.
Applications are welcome from students and scholars at all stages and levels.
​
There are no specific restrictions on items that can be applied for, and applicants are encouraged to tell us what they need and how it will enable them to participate in the conference. Some examples are: travel and/or accommodation costs; subsistence and/or visa fees for international applicants; costs associated with childcare or an accompanying person for UK participants.
There is no specific maximum or minimum amount that can be requested. However, please bear in mind that the total budget available for a given year is £2,500. Therefore we would normally expect most grants to be in the low hundreds of pounds. You are encouraged to apply for the amount you need, but please be aware that each proposal will be evaluated on a proportionate basis, and you may only receive a partial grant.
Applications will be considered by a sub-group of the BANEA Steering Committee, and the outcome will be communicated within 4 weeks of the application deadline.
​
Grantees will be required to provide official receipts demonstrating that the full amount awarded has been spent as per their application. Any unspent funds are required to be returned to BANEA.
