CSAE Conference Funding

We have limited funding to support conference speakers, and we like to stretch it to support as many people as we can. If awarded, funded participants will attend both a pre-conference workshop from 03-06 December 2024 in Pretoria, South Africa, as well as the CSAE Conference from 23-25 March 2025, in Oxford. Speakers who are awarded funding are expected to attend both events for the entire duration. 

New for 2024/25, all submissions that are also applying for funding must be completed by the earlier deadline of 31 July 2024.

Information on eligibility criteria, how to apply, and details about the two events are below, including an outline of what we are able to fund.
