Dear Members,
Proposal deadline for MeCCSA-PGN Annual Conferences in 2010 and 2011
The deadline for proposals to host the 2010 and 2011 conferences of
the MeCCSA-Post-Graduate Network is 30 June. The MeCCSA – PGN seeks
applicants from post-graduate students interested in hosting the 2010
and 2011 postgraduate conferences.
Successful candidates will receive £3000 support from ADM-HEA. They
are also encouraged to apply for AHRC funding for additional funds and
seek support from their university in the form of reduced or waived
room fees and other such accommodations. Candidates should submit:
- A proposal including a description of the event
- A preliminary timetable, venue and budget
- A letter of support from their department
Applications will be assessed based on the viability of the event, as
well as how well it meets the aims of the PGN. In addition, the
department in which a candidate belongs must be a registered member of
MeCCSA. It should also be noted that the event should be aimed towards
post-graduate students only, although keynote speakers may be anyone
in the academic or practice based community.
Applications should be forwarded to Shelley Thompson, secretary of the
PGN: [log in to unmask] by Tuesday, 30 June, 2009, and any
questions should be directed to her. She can also provide applicants
with a copy of a successful bid for reference purposes.
