Dear All,
Applications are now open for the 2013 CILIP First-Timer award to attend IFLA in Singapore. I was lucky enough to be the recipient and attend in Helsinki last year and can strongly recomend this opportunity for any CILIP member with a strong interest in international librarianship.
First timer award 2013
CILIP is offering a first timer grant to attend the IFLA Congress in Singapore, August 2013. It covers the main costs of attending the conference: registration, travel and accommodation. The closing date for submissions is 11 March 2013.
With more than 4,000 delegates and a vast range of sessions, meetings, workshops, visits and social events, WLIC is the largest and arguably the most important single international LIS event.
The conference should provide invaluable CPD experience from a range of global perspectives. It enables the building of networks with overseas colleagues and direct involvement in the work of IFLA.
The two conditions are current CILIP personal membership and never having attended an IFLA conference (other than in the UK or country of domicile) previously.
