2025 Annual Conference Bursaries

FOR DOCTORAL AND EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS

We are delighted to announce that we will again be offering bursaries for doctoral and early career researchers to attend the Association for Art History’s 2025 Annual Conference taking place in person at the University of York, 9-11 April 2025.

The bursaries are assessed by the Association for Art History’s Doctoral and Early Career Research (DECR) committee. These competitive bursaries are available to speakers, session panel organisers and non-speakers who would benefit from attending this international academic conference which features world-class research. The aim of the DECR committee is to provide a support system and platform for current doctoral researchers and those within 5 years of receiving their PhD doctorate. We work with undergraduate, postgraduate and emerging scholars to provide opportunities to present recent and ongoing research at a range of annual events.

Who can apply
The conference bursaries are open to all current doctoral and early career researchers studying art history, in its broadest sense, who would benefit from attending the Association for Art History’s Annual Conference free-of-charge. Applicants must also be current members of the Association for Art History.

Applicants may only apply to either the bursary scheme or the grants scheme – applications to both will not be considered.

How to apply
Applicants are required to complete the proposal form and are also requested to include a monitoring form. These must be emailed to the DECR team.

Please email your application by Friday 17th January 2025 with the title DECR Annual Conference Bursary. Please include the EDI monitoring form. Successful candidates will be notified by the beginning of March 2025. If your bursary application is unsuccessful, we will honour the early booking ticket rates (this applies only to those who applied for a bursary). If you have any other queries or questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Application deadline: Friday 17 January 2025.
