PhD students who wish to be considered for a bursary or award and who are the principal author of a submitted paper should indicate this by choosing the appropriate option during the electronic submission procedure. There will be up to 5 bursaries each worth £500 (c. €600) available for PhD students who are the principal author of an accepted paper. To be eligible the student must attend the conference; be a paid-up member of ESSA; and not have access to other sources of funding.

Separately, all PhD students who are principal authors will be considered for a “Best Student Paper – ESSA 2009” award at the conference.
