Gender and Feminist Geographies Research Group Conference Attendance Award

The GFGRG is offering a limited number of Conference Attendance Awards to student/low income scholars working in the area of gender and feminist geographies who will be attending the RGS Annual Conference this year but do not have an institutional source of funds to cover costs.

 The award will cover reasonable UK travel costs and the cost of early, student/low income registration up to a total of £300. We regret that we cannot fund international travel. Priority will be given to those participating in GFGRG sponsored panels.

Please fill in this online form and we will consider your application for a GFGRG Travel Attendance Award to participate in the RGS conference. Please note that we are always heavily oversubscribed and so we regret that most applicants will be unsuccessful. 

The deadline is Friday 15 May 2026 so that the panel will be able to meet and make a decision before the early bird registration closes in June.

As part of the award, recipients will be warmly invited to attend the GFGRG AGM, get more involved with the group’s activities, and write a short blog post about their experience of the conference.

If you have any queries or would like any further information please don't hesitate to get in touch with the GFGRG Chair Cordelia Freeman at c.freeman@exeter.ac.uk

Deadline: 15 May.
