The Centre for the Evaluation of Complexity Across the Nexus (CECAN) has funding for a limited number of bursaries to support early career researchers and PhD students working across the social and natural sciences to further develop their skills in policy evaluation methods from a complex systems perspective.
Bursaries are available for CECAN Ltd courses (including those run by CECAN Ltd on behalf of the UK Evaluation Society). CECAN will fund up to £200 as a contribution towards training course fees only (subsistence expenses will not be covered). For details of our upcoming courses, please click here.
You can apply at any time. Applications are considered at CECAN Executive Group meetings, held every two months, and applicants will be informed of the outcome shortly after. We are unable to make any exceptions to this, so please ensure that you allow suitable time for processing.
If you have any questions regarding the bursary process, please contact Gail Deason (cecan@surrey.ac.uk)
