Student-led Training Fund
The Student-led Training Fund is an initiative that supports the delivery of advanced and specialist training events, where students can make an argument that their event offers something new and useful.
The SLTF aims to deliver the highest quality advanced training to postgraduate students in Scotland through producing a year-round calendar of events.
In order to ensure this part of our training is inclusive, for the next SLTF round, we are seeking training that is delivered online. Rather than providing funding to cover catering, travel etc., we will look to pay for costs associated with online events, e.g. an online facilitator fee; the digitisation of training materials or the fee for PhD students to deliver an online session (preferably recorded).
The application process for SLTF is open to all social science PhD students studying in Scotland (as well as ESRC-funded students currently in their master’s year of a 1+3 award) who have the right to work during their studies. In 2022 we have permission to also open this opportunity to Early Career Researchers (ECRs).
The deadline to submit an application (scroll down for the form) for events that will take place between 1st September 2022 to 23rd December 2022 is 4pm on Friday, 29th July 2022.
