The University has received a grant from the Education Trust Fund (ETF) for staff to attend conferences. Both academic staff and non academic staff can benefit from the fund.

The conditions for assessing the funds are as follows:

• Institutions/Staff must present letters of invitation or evidence of announcement of the conference.
• The funds allocated should be used to support staff to attend short conferences in relevant disciplines
• Conference attendance should be planned in such a way that the total number of staff to attend local and international conferences should be identified and the costs involved specified before approval is granted by the fund.
• Proposals for sponsorship of conference attendance should be made bearing in mind that staff are selected for the programme in turns/batches to ensure equity and fairness.
• For international conferences, applications should be made at least six weeks to the date of presentation.
• Evidence of attendance must be submitted on return.

Thank You,
