<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University is home to a vibrant community of doctoral researchers pursuing innovative, high-quality research projects. Our research is globally engaged, which is reflected in the many international topics investigated, as well as the participation of our researchers in conferences around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In support of this global engagement, we are pleased to offer The Globally Engaged Research (GER) Scholarship<\/strong> to doctoral researchers fully enrolled on any of our programmes. The scholarships are for the following four activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Participation in academic or professional conferences nationally or internationally<\/strong>, where doctoral researchers have been selected to present their research<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Attendance at and participation in training courses and workshops<\/strong> to develop and enhance research methods skills<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Organisation of seminars and conferences at the University of Westminster.<\/strong> This funding is for doctoral researcher-initiated events which seek to foster and develop our research community both within the university and beyond it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Doctoral researcher led training\/development<\/strong> where funding is awarded for a specific piece of training or development activity that is not on offer at Westminster. Funds would cover costs of hosting a training event which would be open to all doctoral researchers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The scheme is open to all fully enrolled doctoral researchers at the University of Westminster on full-time, part-time and distance learning programmes. Applicants should not have been awarded their degree before the event\/activity takes place, which must be for a conference, course or event taking place between 1 August and 31 July of the current academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
