STUDENT TRAVEL BURSARIES
As part of its role in securing the future vitality of the magnetics community, the UK Magnetics Society supports a competitive bursary scheme to assist postgraduate students to attend international conferences.
Bursaries of £100 are available to support attendance at conferences of international standing in the UK or abroad, in subject areas which reflect the interests of the UK Magnetics Society membership. The award of a bursary is intended to acknowledge the student's contribution to the magnetics community and act as a catalyst for attracting additional support.
The following eligibility criteria will be applied in selecting students:
-
The applicant must be a full-time Postgraduate student, ie not contract research staff
-
Only students from institutions which are members of the UK Magnetics Society are eligible
-
Students must be presenting a paper, either poster or oral
-
Applications from students presenting a paper on collaborative work between two or more members of the UK Magnetics Society (academic or industrial partners) are particularly welcome
-
Only one bursary per event, per institution, will be awarded, and a limit of two bursaries per year from a given member organisation.
Application Forms, which should be submitted at least two months prior to the conference, are available from the Secretariat.
