Throughout the year, the various centers of academic excellence in purchasing and supply management that form the IPSERA Nodes, organise a number of activities under the heading of 'workshops'.
These workshops can last anything between one afternoon and two days, may be targeted at an audience of practitioners or academics or both, and may be international or not. IPSERA membership is not always required to be able to participate, but does give you rebates on possible registration fees.
Ipsera provides bursaries for PhD students. These bursaries are available in the menu under 'Research Funding'.
Workshop Organising Pack and Funding
IPSERA provides small grants to organise workshops and small events. The workshop or event must be open to members and has to be advertised to the network. We also have an organising pack to assist with setting up the event. Contact the nodes task group leader for more details.
