Description
The Haiyan Hua Memorial Award, administered by the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES), provides a travel bursary to support a researcher’s participation in the CIES Annual Conference. Rather than funding a separate research project, it helps cover the costs of attending the conference, including travel, accommodation, registration, and related expenses.
The award honors Dr. Haiyan Hua’s contributions to comparative and international education and his commitment to education policy research, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity building. Its applicant preferences reflect that legacy, emphasizing researchers from low- or middle-income countries and work focused on education monitoring and evaluation or basic education policy research.
