ECPR Bonus Fund – 2024 allocation

The Executive Committee has agreed the following activities for the 2024 allocation of the Bonus Fund:

Available to any ECPR Standing Group (SG) or Research Network (RN) wishing to support a significant research project, multinational teaching programme, or other scientific activities of the group.
SGs/RNs previously successful in receiving this grant are not eligible to apply again within a three-year period.
Only one proposal per SG/RN can be submitted per calendar year.

Funding could be used to support meetings, small workshops, publications, or other such activities.
The grant will be allocated to the SG/RN’s account and paid out on the basis of either receipts or invoices.
Any part of the grant unspent at the end of the financial year will be transferred back into ECPR’s general funds.
On completion of the ECPR-funded activities, the SG/RN should submit a brief report to the Executive Committee explaining how the funds contributed to further its activities and benefited its members.

The activities planned.
