For Students

Standard Student Bursaries

As in year’s past, CCP4 has made funding available for students, to help with the costs of attending Study Weekend in-person, in the form of a bursary. All students are eligible for a standard bursary which covers the registration fee plus one night’s accommodation in halls. Bursaries will be given out to all students registering during the early bird registration period which ends on 16^th November 2025.

Students obtaining a standard bursary will only need to pay for any additional nights‘ accommodation.

Students wishing to stay in the hotel, will be subsidised for one night and will therefore pay the reduced rate of £25 for that night, plus the standard cost for any additional nights. Students wishing to share a room will pay, £35 for the subsidised night plus the standard cost for any additional nights.

Please also note that should you obtain a bursary and cancel after the latest cancellation date of 6 December 2025 you WILL be liable to pay.  This is because we have had several students obtaining bursaries and then cancelling last minute.  Places can be transferred to other people at no charge. 

Travel bursaries

Limited funds will also be made available to help pay travel costs for students and young post-docs from non-UK laboratories. Please send a separate letter, signed by your supervisor and stating the expected cost of travel in pounds sterling, to justify applications for travel support. Supervisors are asked to nominate only one candidate from their Laboratory. Delegates are expected to travel by the most economic means possible. Candidates from less favoured regions will be given preference.

Applications should be e-mailed to ccp4sw@stfc.ac.uk :

Once again, we will be having a poster session during the networking event on Wednesday 7^th January 2026. Posters need to be in portrait in orientation and A0 in size. Posters that are predominantly pictures are best as you will be able to talk to delegates during the mixer. There will be prizes for the best posters as judged by our panel of judges.
