STUDENT BURSARIES FOR CHART 2005 

 

The AHRB ICT Methods Network, which aims to promote and develop the use of
advanced ICT methods in Arts and Humanities research, is offering a
limited number of bursaries to post-graduate students who wish to attend
the 2005 CHArt conference, THEORY AND PRACTICE, which will be held on 10

Applications for bursaries are sought from post-graduate students whose
research interests are grounded in areas covered by CHArt.  These include:
the application of ICT to the study of art and the history of art; new
media theory and new art practice; creation and curation of digital
scholarly and image resources including those in museums, galleries or
libraries, and other areas which may be considered to be within CHArt's
sphere of interest.

 

The bursaries are intended to help towards conference expenses.  
Successful applicants will be able to claim funds up to a total of £200
toward the cost of conference fees, accommodation and travel.
