MPLS Researcher Representative Award

A new £500 annual allowance has been introduced in MPLS as a two-year trial to support the professional and career development of departmental researcher representatives. The award recognises their contributions to research culture and can be used for career-related expenses, including conference travel/fees, training and subscriptions, subject to departmental approval. Researcher representatives should contact their departmental finance teams to claim the allowance by 31 July 2025.

To support the review of this pilot scheme and help make the case for future funding, researcher representatives will be invited to submit a short overview of the activities they have facilitated in their departments. Please click here to see the Researcher Representative Award Terms & Conditions.
