XVI International Triple Helix Conference 2018

Triple Helix and Beyond – a New Era
5-8 September 2018

CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstract Submission Deadline Extended
We are pleased to announce that the abstract deadline has been extended to 30 March 2018

Early Career Researcher Scholarships

The Manchester Institute of Innovation Research is able to offer up to thirty scholarships to support early career researchers to attend the Triple Helix conference in September. If you are successful in having your paper or poster accepted for Triple Helix 2018, and are either currently registered on a full-time doctoral course, or are within three years of completing your PhD, you will be invited to apply for a scholarship to contribute towards your travel and subsistence expenses. Our funding does not allow us to cover conference registration costs, but you can register at the discounted student/early career rate.

This funding has been made available through the University of Manchesterís Hallsworth Conference Fund. For further information, contact Laura Dawson (*email address protected*).

Carer support

We recognise that child care and other carer responsibilities can constrain conference participation and lead to an underrepresentation of those with such responsibilities. A number of
universities have established support resources to address this. At the University of Manchester, the Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) has made available a Carer Support  Fund for Research Related Professional Development. If an individual’s circumstances are such that they need additional support/care to help them present at the Triple Helix  Conference, this Fund can provide additional support for members of the AMBS community on application and review. Presenters coming from outside of the University of Manchester can also apply to the Fund. Many other universities also have carer support and funding available, and presenters are encouraged to investigate what opportunities exist in their home school/institution. If other options for child care at or nearby to the conference venue can be identified, we will highlight these on the conference website.
