As part of our ongoing commitment to ensure our events are as accessible as possible, we are pleased to announce a new Conference Registration Bursary. The aim of the bursary is to provide a free ticket to support those from marginalised and underrepresented groups who are unable to secure the funds to attend conference.

 

Please note that this is different to our earlier advertised Support to Attend bursary.

 

This bursary will cover the full cost of a conference place. This does not include travel and accommodation, and these costs would need to be met by yourself or your host institution.

 

There are a limited number of complimentary tickets available for this purpose.

 

Eligibility

To be eligible, applicants must be ARMA members.

 

The bursary is aimed at members from marginalised or underrepresented backgrounds, including the following:

 

• research managers and administrators who identify as Global Majority*

• those with protected characteristics

• early career research managers and administrators

• people with caring responsibilities

• representatives from charitable organisations

• representatives from independent research organisations.

 

*Global Majority is an emerging term to describe people traditionally defined as BAME in the UK.

 (NB. This is not an exhaustive list)
