Description
The Scottish Society for Northern Studies offers this grant to help postgraduate students and early career scholars attend conferences connected to their research. It supports attendance where the applicant has been invited to present a paper, or where the conference is directly relevant to their research. Funding contributes towards practical participation costs, specifically travel costs or conference fees.
The Society encourages research on the interactions and influences of the Scandinavian, Celtic, and Scottish worlds, spanning archaeology, history, place-name studies, literature, language, and manuscript studies. Applicants must explain how the conference relates to their studies or career progression and the Society’s aims and objectives. This award forms part of the Society’s wider bursary programme but specifically supports conference attendance rather than conference organisation or a separate research project.
