FASS Conference Paper To Journal Article Travel Support Scheme (CPJA) 2012

The CPJA grants are designed to assist with travel costs that will allow early (ECR) and mid-career researchers (MCR) to participate in high profile international conferences through the presentation of a paper that will be reworked as a peer-reviewed journal article. The scheme also provides the opportunity for ECR and MCR researchers to connect with a mentor in the Faculty.
