BSHS 2013 ICHSTM overseas delegates
The British Society for the History of Science (BSHS)
will be able to offer financial assistance to a small number of overseas
delegates attending the 2013 International Congress of History of Science,
Technology and Medicine in Manchester. The value of each award will be 250
British pounds.
Eligibility: the competition is open to anyone who has
had a paper accepted (either stand-alone or as part of a symposium) and can
make a convincing statement of financial need. In order to claim an award you
must register for the Congress by the end of the early registration period (14
April 2013), and actually attend the Congress.
Application deadline: 28 February 2013
Please submit an application to Lucy Tetlow, the
Executive Secretary of the BSHS, as a file attached to an e-mail to the
following address:<office@bshs.org.uk>.
The application should consist of a letter including the following elements
(there is no form that you need to use):
-- Your name, institutional affiliation, and contact
details including e-mail address
-- The title of your paper (and the symposium, if
applicable)
-- A statement of financial need, up to 1 page. National,
institutional and personal factors may be mentioned. No documentation is
necessary, as we will judge the cases on trust; therefore it is essential that
you give us an honest and unexaggerated statement of your situation, so that we
can attempt to make a fair allocation of awards.
