MICs Conference Bursaries
BPI MICS Conference: Children’s Lives – International Conference on Children and Their Families using the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) Bursaries
2nd –3rd September 2024, 8:30 am- 05:00 pm
The Bristol Poverty Institute (BPI) is excited to welcome a wide range of attendees to our upcoming hybrid conference on Children’s Lives – International Conference on Children and Their Families using the Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) in September. However, we recognise that costs of attending a conference can be a barrier to attendance for some. We therefore have a limited number of bursaries available to enable online participation. Please note that funds are limited, so please be respectful and only apply for these bursaries if you genuinely need them.
Data bursaries for online attendance
The BPI works extensively with partners from all over the globe and we are aware of some of the challenges our collaborators can face in accessing online events, such as the costs involved in using pay-as-you-go internet data. We are therefore pleased to announce that we are making some data bursaries available to conference attendees on both days for whom data costs would be a barrier to participation.
These bursaries are for the equivalent of up to £15 (GBP) each, based on the currency exchange rates from xe.com on the day of submission. If the transaction will incur foreign exchange fees and/or charges, we will also cover these costs to ensure the recipient receives their full bursary. Payment will be made by bank transfer.
To apply, please download and read the following guidance and complete the application form
Funds will be allocated on a rolling basis, so we recommend you contact the BPI team via bpi-conference-2024@bristol.ac.uk to check availability before submitting your application. Please apply early to avoid disappointment.
Whilst these data bursaries are primarily intended for participants from Low- and Middle-Income Countries, we recognise that internet access can also be prohibitive for those in other countries. We will therefore accept applications from anyone in the world who is reliant on pay-as-you-go data to access the internet, including the UK.
