Research Workshops in International Studies

BISA introduced the Research Workshops in 2015 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Association. We are pleased to announce that up to five funded workshops will be available again in 2019. The workshop funding is available to BISA members to encourage the creation of new and innovative collaborative research. The Workshops are intended to build collaboration between a diverse set of participants, ideally including scholars from different countries/regions of the world and scholars who are at different stages of their careers. Either BISA Working Groups or individuals may apply for a workshop funding, however all workshop applications must contain a single designated contact person.

The workshop funding will cover the costs of room hire, audio visual hire for powerpoint presentations, morning and afternoon refreshments and lunch. Additionally, a travel budget of £1000 per workshop will be provided, principally to support Postgraduate and Early Career members and/or workshop participants from low income countries to attend the conference for an additional day to participate in the workshops.
