Dear all,
AGI GeoCommunity '09
The AGI is again this year supporting academic attendance at the
new-format GeoCommunity conference on 23rd & 24th September in
Stratford-upon-Avon with a set of bursaries. The conference has moved on
a lot from when it was allied with the big trade show, with the emphasis
of the event being on the conference and high quality, business-related
papers. This year's theme 'Realising the Value of Place' will address
the role of the GeoCommunity at a time of challenge and opportunity in a
time of global economic flux.
The call for papers is currently open, as is registration. General
information about the conference are here:
http://www.agi.org.uk/bfora/systems/xmlviewer/default.asp?arg=DS_AGI_ABOUTART_73/_page.xsl/94
The call for papers closes on 1st May - details here:

The Basics of the Academic Bursary Scheme
=========================================
1) Up to 6 bursaries for academics will be made available.
2) "Academic" means a postgraduate researcher and above in full-time
education or the academic profession.
3) Bursaries are to be requested when submitting a conference paper.
4) Paper acceptance is not a pre-requisite for a bursary: high quality
papers that may not make the final programme for other reasons may still
qualify.
The Detail
==========
The £200 grant will be discounted from the standard speaker rate package
to allow the choice of one of two options:
* The 'Full conference package' including the icebreaker event and
accommodation on September 22nd = £130 + VAT
* The Conference package for 23rd and 24th September excluding the
icebreaker event and accommodation on the 22nd = FREE
# The bursary is non transferable or exchangeable for a cash alternative.
# The bursary options are ‘as is’ and non negotiable.
# The bursary does not cover travel.
# Dual hotel room occupancy is at standard rates for second person,
(contact AGI for more details).
# Accommodation is not guaranteed in the conference venue and may be in
a neighbouring hotel.
# Our standard cancellation policy will be applied for cancellations
(contact AGI for more details).
Regards,
Jeremy
