[Postgrad] PGR Travel Award - 2023/24 Launch

[Baris Bingol]

Dear Micheala,

I hope you are doing well.

I am sending this email to learn more about this funding.

I am selected to participate in a 5-days school relating to GEANT4 simulation in Ghana contributed by Universite of Paris-Saclay. They provide a funding for airport transportation, accommodations, meals except for the travelling tickets.

I consider the PGR Travel Award for PhD student in the 2023/2024 academic year.

Please could I kindly ask you to inform me about whether I can utilize this award by going a 5-days training school which is significant for my work especially designing of my experiments?

I look forward to hearing from you. The selection committee is waiting my confirmation for participation.

Kind regards,

Baris

Dear students,



The PGR Travel Award has been updated and relaunched for the 2023/24 academic year.

Doctoral students who are not in receipt of travel or RTSG funds as part of their studentship are eligible to receive one PGR Travel Award during their studies to present their research at a conference. Students in write-up can receive the Award up until one year after their minimum duration has ended, or until they submit their thesis, whichever comes first. Any eligibility queries should be directed at the PGR Funding Team.

The current maximum requests are as follows:

  *   Online/virtual conferences (registration fees only)

£150

All applications to the PGR Travel Award need a matched contribution from an eligible source of equal or greater value to that which is requested from the PGR Travel Award. More detail on this is provided in the associated guidance document on the RKES Portal<https://strath.sharepoint.com/sites/rkes/SitePages/Postgraduate-Research-(PGR)-Travel-Award.aspx>.

To comply with University guidance on travel on university business, all applications require approval from the Head of Department, a completed risk assessment, a travel insurance notification to be completed on Pegasus, and it is recommended that the University’s travel management company Clarity Travel is used when booking the travel.
