The ARC Cultural Research Network is pleased to announce the details of a
bursary scheme to assist postgraduate students and Early Career Researchers
(without access to institutional funding) in their attendance at the State
of the Industry conference at UNSW in November 2009.
 
The bursary funds will be distributed in the form of return airfares to
enable attendees based in regional NSW and other Australian states to travel
to Sydney.
 
We want as many Œnext generation¹ scholars who are engaged in cultural
research as possible to participate in this event, and we hope this funding
scheme will encourage postgrads and ECRs from all over Australia to join
this important discussion.

applicants on a Œfirst come, first served¹ basis.
