Every year UKeiG offers support for one or more students’ attendance at a professional conference.

 

These include, but are not limited to:

LILAC (http://www.cilip.org.uk/specialinterestgroups/bysubject/informationliteracy/lilac/lilac2007),

Umbrella (http://www.cilip.org.uk/training/calendar/bydate/June07/Umbrella2007.htm), or the

Online Information Meeting (http://www.online-information.co.uk/),

as well as others listed on CILIP’s Conference web page: http://www.cilip.org.uk/training/confcalendar.

 

Applications are accepted throughout the year, but should arrive at least 2 months prior to the conference for which support is being requested. Where more than one application for a conference is received, the winner will be chosen from the applications received according to their application letters, which should detail the benefits to be gained from attending the conference, as well as details of the conference (including date and place) and the costs to be incurred.

 

The grant awarded may not cover all costs. It is a condition of winning that a short ‘conference report’ is presented for publication in the Group’s e-journal, eLucidate. UKeiG reserves the right to withhold the award if no suitable application is received.

 

Further details may be found on: http://www.ukeig.org.uk/awards/student_conference.html

 

Application letters should be sent to [log in to unmask] with the Subject line “UKeiG Student Conference Award”.
