The Society uses a large proportion of its available funds to support members wishing to present their research at National and International Meetings or to attend work-related training courses. These travel bursaries take the form of part defrayment of the travel costs. Applications should be made to the Treasurer prior to starting travel, giving details of the meeting and the travel costs, along with a copy of the abstract. The level of support will be dependent on the funds available so bursaries cannot be awarded retrospectively.

To apply - Please contact Nigel Loveridge for information and/or complete the application form.
