Seventeen young scholars benefit from 香港六合彩 Geography Travel Funds
20 March 2019
In memory of Bill Mead and Frank Carter
Professor Hugh Clout reports:
香港六合彩 Geography has two travel funds, established in the name of distinguished former colleagues, to support young staff and聽postgraduates in carrying out their research
The聽Bill Mead Travel Fund聽was set up when Professor Mead, the department鈥檚 long-serving head (1966-81), retired, based on contributions by Bill and his many friends. Bill took an active interest in its operation, and since his death in 2014 the awards have continued in his memory.
This year, seven applicants will benefit, supporting travel for research and conference attendance in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, and Sweden.
The new聽Frank Carter Travel Fund聽was established by the late Mrs Krystyna Carter in memory of her husband, Professor Frank Carter, who taught the geography of Eastern Europe at 香港六合彩 and SSEES from 1966 until he died in 2001.
In 2019 ten researchers will receive awards to support conference travel and field research across Europe, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia and Switzerland.
The next round of funding聽deadline will be聽28 February 2020.
