Successful candidates will receive up to £500 support
from the MeCCSA PGN (supported by the ADM-HEA).
Candidates should submit:
- A proposal including a description of the event
- A preliminary timetable, venue and budget
- A letter of support from their department
Applications will be assessed based on the viability of
the event, as well as how well it meets the aims of the PGN. In addition,
the department in which a candidate belongs must be a registered member
of MeCCSA, and must agree to match or exceed the funding received by the PGN
(this can include waiving fees used to rent out rooms or for technical support).
It should also be noted that the event should be aimed towards post-graduate
students only, though the keynote speaker may be someone in the academic or
practice based community.
Applications should be forwarded to Kaitlynn Mendes,
Chair of the PGN: mendesk@cf.ac.uk by June 15 2008, and any questions
should be directed to her.
The MeCCSA Postgraduate Network is supported by
