Conference Travel

Presenting your work and networking at conferences is an important part of your development as an independent researcher. Depending on your funding situation, you may have funds allocated for activities such as attending conferences. Speak to your supervisor about this in the first instance. There is a Notification of Intent to Travel form that must be filled out in addition to getting your supervisor's approval.

In February 2022, The University of Sheffield launched a new business travel policy. The policy and supporting information can be found here.

There are sometimes small grants for which you can apply to help fund activities such as attending conferences. These vary year on year, so keep an eye on your emails or ask your supervisor about these opportunities.
