**** Nigel W. John Scholarships to attend CGVC 2024 ****

We are pleased to announce five scholarships, sponsored by the giCentre, to cover registration at CGVC 2024 in memory of our late colleague Prof. Nigel W. John.

The Scholarships aim to encourage a diverse group of early career researchers (especially PhD students) to attend the conference for the first time and share ideas with peers.

To qualify, you must be a current student or recent graduate who is working or has worked in a discipline that is cognate to CVCG. See https://cgvc.org.uk/CGVC2024/cfp for details.

Application deadline: 14^th June 2024.

To apply for the Nigel W. John scholarships, please send the following to chairs-cgvc2024@eg.org (deadline 14^th June):

• Subject “Nigel W. John Scholarship Application”, cc your academic supervisor or advisor.
• Your name, institution, discipline, and stage of study
• Any contribution that you have submitted or intend to submit to CGVC 2024 (we encourage these, but you do not need to submit something to apply for a scholarship)
• Confirmation that you have not previously attended CGVC
• A named academic supervisor or advisor who can confirm that you qualify (see above, please cc in the email)
• A 100 word (max) supporting statement that explains why you would like to attend and how this will be beneficial.

The organising committee will rank submissions based on the prospective benefit of conference attendance to each applicant and allocate the awards to five recipients, with a maximum of two per institution.

CVCG 2024 starts on 12th September 2024, the day that Nigel’s son Marc plans to arrive at John O’Groats having ridden the length of the UK this year in memory of his Dad.
