  • Thursday, October 16, 2025

For emerging academics, taking part in conferences can have a profound impact on their teaching and research. These events are a chance to share research, learn about the latest developments in an area of work, and build valuable professional networks.
Researchers find themselves better informed and better connected with new knowledge that can be shared and multiplied among colleagues and students. 
All awardees will be required to complete a report on the completion of their award. 
 Grants are a maximum of GBP 2,000 which can be used to cover: 

  • Conference registration fee 

  • Flights 

  • Accommodation 

  • Visa costs 

  • Travel and health insurance 

Applicants must: 

  • Be an early career researcher/academic at an ACU member university. 
  • Be within 7 years of the start of their academic (research/teaching) career, with the exception of those who have had career breaks. A career break is a period of time out from employment for personal or professional reasons, including to care for children. 
  • Identify a conference that they would like to attend in a Commonwealth country taking place between February 2026 to January 2027. 
    • Applicants need to be either chairing a session, presenting a paper, or presenting a poster as part of their conference attendance to be considered for a grant.
