The Prehistoric Society’s Events Fund supports the organisation and coordination of events relating to prehistory, including conferences and lectures held with other societies and partners. The Society usually makes several awards each year through two strands: conference support and joint meetings with other societies.
Conference support focuses on events organised by students, early career researchers or unwaged researchers, and events that promote their ongoing research or feature a significant proportion of speakers from these groups. The joint meetings strand helps coordinate lectures with other societies by contributing to speaker travel, accommodation and refreshments. The fund supports event delivery rather than the separate Conference Fund’s scholarships.
