Royal Institute of Philosophy Terms and Conditions for Graduate Conference funding.
- Conference funding is for speakers’ expenses, general administration and advertising costs. This includes accommodation and meals for speakers where appropriate.
- No applications received after midnight on the 14th April 2024 will be considered.
- A full budget for your conference must be emailed to A.Almjbarae@royalinstitutephilosophy.org in addition to completing your online application.
- Applications received without an accompanying budget will not be considered.
- The Institute’s financial commitment is limited to the agreement made in writing to successful applicants.
- Funds can be made available in advance or after the event, in either case on receipt of an invoice. Payments cannot be made to personal accounts.
- Where funding is awarded, the Royal Institute of Philosophy must be clearly acknowledged as a funder, both in online publicity and in printed material (if any) at the conference itself.
- While it is assumed that financial assistance with the conference may also be sought elsewhere, the Institute must be a consenting party to any co-sponsoring arrangement and reserves its right to withdraw sponsorship.
- If the amount awarded to an institution in a given year is underspent, the unspent funds must be credited to the Royal Institute within 4 weeks of the event taking place.
- The Institute asks for a short report on the conference 4 weeks following the date of the event. Organisers will be expected to complete an online activity form and submit this alongside a fully completed budget for the event.
- Conference organisers are required to follow the BPA/SWIP Good Practice Scheme recommendations.
- Conference organisers are also asked to consider accessibility and the BPA has good guidance that may be useful.
