The UCL Institute of Advanced Studies invites applications from UCL academic staff, PhD students and post-doctoral researchers to its Call for Event Proposals, which funds interdisciplinary projects in the humanities and social sciences. PhD students must partner with a member of full-time UCL academic staff.  Proposals can be related to the IAS’s current research themes, but we also welcome interdisciplinary proposals which are not related to them.
 

Typical projects eligible for funding include:

  • hosting a research conference, a seminar, workshop, or symposium
  • public engagement activities and collaborations with external non-academic institutions

The project needs to commence and its allocated funds be spent by 31 July 2023.

The IAS is working as flexibly as possible in terms of event formats and we are happy to support online, hybrid or in-person events.  Funding of up to £2,000 per event is available. There is no minimum limit for awards:small amounts such as £300-£400 to hire an online platform such as Gather or Remo for a couple of days, or the fees (c. £150-£200) to pay freelance creative artists or activists to participate in your event are possible (please note that we do not fund honoraria for academics/salaried staff).

The deadlines for submission of proposals are 16 October 2022 and 29 January 2023. Projects will be selected by the IAS Director and Deputy Directors.

If you wish to apply, please complete the application form (downloadable below) and email it to Catherine Stokes, c.stokes@ucl.ac.uk
