PGR Development Fund
The PGR Development Fund supports the organisation of events, workshops or initiatives that benefit PGRs across disciplines and faculties.
About the fund
The PGR Development Fund supports the organisation of events, workshops or initiatives that benefit postgraduate research students (PGRs).
We encourage applications to our PGR Development Fund for both online and in-person (PGR Hub) workshops and events.
The PGR Hub is available – on a bookable system – for PGRs to host activities. Virtual events are also welcome.
Applicants can request funding (for a one-off activity or a series of events) towards any initiative that:
- is applicable to PGRs across all faculties
- delivers transferable skills, training, or resources to other Bristol PGRs
Who can apply?
We welcome expressions of interest from all registered postgraduate research students at the University of Bristol, including visiting PGRs.
Is my idea eligible?
Any idea for an online or in-person activity will be considered, as long as it is relevant and open to all PGRs across disciplines, and the activity is free for all those that take part.
Support from the fund could cover:
- hiring a professional speaker, facilitator, musician, artist, exercise instructor, etc.
- equipment and materials
- use of an online service/platform for a specific period
- online promotion/ads
- a prize for participants (e.g. for an online or in-person quiz)
- the cost of drinks and food for the event, and so on
This list is not exhaustive. We welcome innovative ideas.
