Bursaries open to both CILIP members and non-members
The Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) are official Bursary Sponsors of CILIP Conference 2025, providing four fully-funded residential bursary places at this year’s event.
The sponsored places seek to offer funded assistance to those without the financial means to cover the ticket. Both CILIP members and non-members are welcome to apply.
To fit with Conference’s leadership focus, CLA is interested in hearing from those who are just embarking on their leader journey, or who are considering leadership as their next career step. They are particularly interested in hearing from applicants who have never been to CILIP conference before and those who have a view on the role of copyright and IP in the profession.
Four bursaries are available.
Bursaries open to CILIP members only
A number of CILIP’s excellent member networks and special interest groups are supporting a range of sponsored bursary places.
To apply, it’s usually necessary to be a member of the network or special interest group, though in most cases, it’s free to join.
