CERF Visitors Scheme

CERF launched a new scheme that aims to fund travel and accommodation expenses for academic visitors who will advance or promote research in finance within the University of Cambridge. The scheme was approved by the CERF managers at its May 2022 meeting.  

What is the Scheme?

In 2022, CERF launched this scheme that aims to fund travel and accommodation expenses for academic visitors who will advance or promote research in finance within the University of Cambridge. Applications for funding under the scheme are approved by an ad hoc committee of CERF managers.  

The CERF visitor scheme covers finance researchers at all levels of seniority. These include visiting doctoral students, co-authors, or visiting professors, among others. 

Reimbursement of expenses must follow University rules, and various restrictions apply as to which expenses and how much can be reimbursed. 

Due to space constraints, the scheme does not include office space, and we expect that most visitors work from a hosting faculty or department. All visitors must independently acquire visitor status at a department or faculty to gain access to the University IT network, library, and other facilities.  

Who is eligible to apply?

Visitors can be nominated and hosted by any of the following faculty members employed by the University of Cambridge: 

• A current or former CERF

• A Cambridge Finance manager,

• A current or former CERF Fellow. 

The local sponsor commits to look after the visitor and is the key contact for CERF regarding various aspects of the visit.
