Each year IPSERA offers bursaries for attending the annual conference. The bursaries are dedicated to PhD students and post-doc researchers who have graduated in the year previous to the conference.

The criteria considered to evaluate the bursary applications, on a need and merit basis, include:

• Applicant with limited or without alternative funding to attend the conference
• Applicant from an under-represented country/university in IPSERA
• Applicant has not received a bursary before
• Applicant submits a competitive paper to the conference

Additionally, the applicant must apply or renew their IPSERA membership.
You can apply by filling out the bursary application form here.

For more detailed information on bursaries and applications, please contact: bursaries@ipsera.com. Please note that the bursaries are handled by the the IPSERA association (the Executive Committee), not the conference organizers.
