How to apply
While applicants for bursaries must be members of the Association, applications for membership may be submitted at the same time as applications for bursaries. For LAGB2025, University of Suffolk, completed bursary applications must be received by 5pm British Summer Time, Wednesday 2nd of July 2025.
- All abstracts should be submitted in the regular way, as detailed in the call for papers.
- Members who also wish to apply for a bursary should email conference@lagb.org.uk to register their interest in a bursary from the email address they gave to the LAGB when joining the Association. Please tell us which bursar{y/ies} you would like to be considered for and whether you have access to additional funds, e.g. departmental travel scholarships.
- Successful applicants will be notified by email before the end of July.
