Bursaries

For major society conferences bursaries are made available. Bursaries will be awarded based on the scientific quality of the abstract (if submitted), workshop involvement and/ the applicant’s track record (i.e., employment history or publication record) as appropriate. The selection committee may give priority to research higher degree students (RHDS), early career researchers (ECR) (within 5 years of being awarded their PhD at time of conference), junior technical staff (JTS) (within 5 years of commencing employment in this role at time of conference) and MCRs (within 5-15 years of being awarded their PhD at time of conference), particularly where the applicant has indicated that they have no other source of funds or supporting funds. In addition, the selection committee will endeavour to select awardees equally based on gender, ethnicity and their affiliation with the various AMMS Special Interest Groups (SIG).
