Harden Bursaries

Our Harden Bursaries help students and scientists in the early stage of their career attend Harden Conferences, our residential research conference series focusing on specific specialist topics.

Not a member? Why not join today and receive discounted registration fees and the opportunity to apply for a bursary to help cover registration, travel, or accommodation costs!

Bursary funding available:

  • The exact value of Harden Bursaries and the criteria for which it can be spent varies for each Conference.
  • Harden Bursaries are often over-subscribed, and many applications are not accepted. Please do not make travel arrangements until you have been informed, in writing, that your application has been accepted.
  • If awarded, bursaries will be paid after the conference has taken place, and attendance has been confirmed.

How to Apply

The option to apply for a Harden bursary is within the abstract submission process.

Upcoming Events

To be eligible to apply: 

  • You must be a member of the Biochemical Society (or co-organizing Society, if applicable). If you are not a member, join today.  
  • Harden Bursaries are available for graduate students and those who gained their PhD in the last 5 years. Due to limited numbers, preference is given to senior graduate students.  
  • You must submit an abstract to the conference. 

Registration and abstract submission must be completed by the event’s early bird deadline. 

Please note: abstract submission does not count as registration. You will need to register and pay for the conference separately.
