Our Travel and Expenses bursaries offer essential support for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to attend engagement activities. These activities are crucial for knowledge exchange, enhancing research profiles, and expanding professional networks. Given the current financial climate, many ECRs are no longer able to access funds for this. By providing support to ECRs through this fund, we aim to remove barriers for researchers facing financial constraints, allowing them to gain recognition and progress in their careers.

The bursaries are supported through the generous contributions of Fellows of the Learned Society of Wales. These contributions may also be supplemented by the Learned Society of Wales using core funding.
