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 27-30 November 2023 in Kampala, Uganda, as well as the CSAE Conference from 17-19 March 2024, in Oxford. Speakers who are awarded funding are expected to attend both events for the entire duration.

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.
