The AVA has introduced a new travel bursary scheme for 2008, which
provides funding to help postgraduates to attend AVA meetings.
The maximum award to any one individual is 100 UK pounds. This can be
used towards meeting registration, travel and accommodation costs.
Typically up to 5 bursaries will be made available for each AVA
conference, and applications should be received by the Secretariat by
the abstract submission deadline. The closing date for bursaries to
attend the AVA Christmas meeting in Bristol on 19th December 2008 is 7th
November.
Applicants must be PhD students, or must not have started their first
post-doc job.
To apply for an award, you need to complete an application form and send
it to the Secretariat as an e-mail attachment. In addition, you must
ask your supervisor to complete the supervisor form and e-mail it direct
to the Secretariat. The e-mail address for applications, and to request
the forms, is:

You may also download the forms from the AVA website.
The decision on bursary allocation will be made by the meeting
organisers. All claims must be fully supported by receipts.
