Conference Support
The Conference Support scheme is designed to promote the dissemination of advanced research. Conference convenors may apply for financial assistance, whether for bringing key speakers to the UK (or other location if the event is to be held abroad), or for a wider range of expenses.
In addition, conference convenors may apply for support through free use of the British Academy as a venue or through subsequent publication of proceedings by the Academy, where the particular appropriateness of such Academy involvement can be demonstrated.
The Academy welcomes applications for conferences held in collaboration with other organisations. Applications will not be considered for less than £1,000. The maximum award is £20,000. Conferences attracting the higher levels of support should be at least partly aimed at disseminating the results of research to a broader public, and the Academy particularly welcomes applications that show how public interest might be engaged in the topics discussed.
- Level of award: From £1,000 to £20,000.
- Two rounds annually
First round
