Registration will be available by mid-February using the DMU Online Shop platform. Early registration is encouraged for participants committed to attending who are not requesting bursary support.
We are designing a low-cost and inclusive event with a range of fee options designed to minimise barriers to participation whilst covering our core hosting costs. There are four registration rates noted below.
- £100 (pay-it-forward rate, designed for those with available budget for CPD, engagement and/or research dissemination, enabling bursaries to be provided for others)
- £50 (standard rate)
- £20 (reduced rate for all students and for staff at organising institutions)
- £FREE (choose this if you have no available budget/funds. Attendance can still be possible through either bursary support or budget for free attendance for staff/students at organising institutions.)
If you are a student or staff member at one of the host organisations, please contact a colleague on the organising team to check if central funding can exempt you from a registration fee:
- DMU: Andrew Reeves (areeves@dmu.ac.uk)
- University of Leicester: Alice Jackson (amj48@leicester.ac.uk)
- Loughborough University: Kedijah Eaves-O’Connor (k.l.eaves-oconnor@lboro.ac.uk)
Bursary Support.
Bursaries are on offer to minimise barriers to participation, particularly for student attendees from across the UK.
When responding to the call for participation, please indicate the bursary level that would be essential to enable you to attend in-person in your view. Note that funds are limited and will be prioritised by the organising team with a focus on student participation and high-priority contributions.
We will issue bursaries in 2+ rounds, so if you don’t know if this is needed at the point of expressing interest in participation, you can apply later after confirmation of accepted contributions.
The bursary options are:
- Free registration (£50 off for staff; £20 off for students)
- £50 towards travel/accommodation
- £100 towards travel/accommodation
