Bursary for PhD students and attendees with caring responsibilities
5th joint Institute of Mathematics and Its Applications (IMA) and OR Society (ORS) conference
Birmingham, UK, April 30 – May 02, 2025
We are delighted to announce a fund to support PhD students and presenters with caring responsibilities to attend the 5th joint IMA-ORS conference in Birmingham (April 30 – May 02, 2025).
£2,500 is being made available to offer a number of grants to:
- PhD students: please submit your abstract (300 words) and a letter of support from your main supervisor to be considered for the award. The award is to be used for travel and subsistence. You will also be excepted from paying the conference registration fee.
- Prospective attendees who would otherwise not be able to attend due to caring responsibilities. Please submit your abstract (300 words) and a short case for support (no more than 300 words) to explain how you will benefit from the award and how the money will be used.
We will offer £400 for travelling within the UK, and £500 for travelling to Birmingham from abroad.
Please submit your cases to Aris Syntetos and Anna-Lena Sachs (Conference and Programme Chair, respectively) by the 28th of February, 2025. If more applications are received than what the total amount of money allows us to fund, the conference organising committee will select the winning applications on the basis of research merit and value added to the applicants.
We look forward to receiving your applications.
