Financial support for Postgraduate Students attending RES2011

All PhD students who are members of the RES (regardless of their nationality) and are not in full time employment can apply to the Royal Economic Society to have their conference fee refunded as well as their accommodation and travel expenses covered. This  application is made after the conference via an online claim form which will be available on this page immediately after the conference.  As well as the online claim form applicants will also be required to supply original receipts to support the claim.

Online claim form RES2011 (This link will go live shortly before the Conference)
 

The deadline for claims will be 20th May 2011. Claims will then be settled as soon as possible – though this is likely to run into June.

A fixed budget will be allocated between all applicants to this scheme and therefore an applicant cannot be guaranteed to have all their travel expenses covered for certain but the RES is usually able to cover the majority of claims made.  The level of support provided by the RES depends on whether the student is presenting a paper or not.
