Notes:
Grants are available for the congresses of major subject areas or disciplines, ordinarily occurring every three, four or five years, and involving an extensive programme and large attendance from all over the world. It should clearly be the British turn to host such a congress, and the event should not have been held in the UK for a considerable period. Typical examples would be the International Congress of Historical Sciences, or the Congress of the International Geographical Union. British scholars contemplating the possibility of extending an invitation for a worldwide congress to be held in Britain are invited to contact the Academy to discuss possible support.
Level of award: Up to £15,000.
