School of Geography
The School Training Events Fund provides financial support for postgraduate training events organised by graduate
students for graduate students. The money is distributed on a competitive basis. Such events will typically involve
invited speakers/experts, and should be of interest and open to as broad a constituency as possible. Examples would
include a seminar or workshop organised around a particular conceptual debate, methodological approach/technique, or
an issue of personal and professional development. The money available for such events is not defined in advance, but
would typically be in the region of up to c£300. If you are interested in organising such an event, you can make an
application using the form below.
Once completed, the form should be submitted by email to the Director of Graduate Studies, David Pinder
(d.pinder@qmul.ac.uk).
Application deadlines are 1st November, 1st March and 1st June each year
