CONFERENCE BURSARY

The Scottish Contaminated Land Forum is a not-for-profit information exchange and networking forum. The overall aim of the Forum is to develop and expand best practice in the assessment and development of brownfield land in Scotland.  One of our objectives to help achieve this aim is to promote and develop the capabilities of contaminated land professionals based in Scotland.

​

International Conferences 

The forum would like to offer assistance to post-graduate students and post-doctoral researchers to attend professional meetings and conferences being held outside Scotland.  The assistance would include presentation of papers or attendance at conferences or meetings, to develop knowledge, skills and networks relevant to the research topic or development of the individual’s professional capabilities. 

To be eligible, you should be undertaking further study or research at an institution in Scotland, on a theme relevant to brownfield land development.  The assistance will be in the form of a financial contribution towards travel and subsistence costs, up to a limit of 75% of those costs, payable upon supply of receipted documentation confirming the expenditure.
