SLSA annual seminar competition

In 2006, the Executive Committee announced the launch of a new annual seminar competition to complement the now well-established SLSA Small Grants Scheme. The total seminar competition fund is £5000 per year which may be awarded to a single proposal or divided between a number of applicants. The money can be used to support the delivery of either an individual seminar or short conference, or a series of events.

How to enter

There are no restrictions concerning the subject matter, provided applicants can show relevance to the socio-legal community. Lead applicants must be members of the SLSA. Applications will not be considered where the amount of support required from the SLSA is less than £300, or where the event is targeted at staff or students of a single institution. A full set of competition criteria is available for download: Seminar Competition Criteria.

There were two successful applications in 2007, one in 2009 and two in 2010. No awards were made in the 2008 round.

The closing date for the next round is 31 January 2011.
