Support

We may be able to offer financial support for individuals to develop their teaching and learning or doctoral supervision by attending external events or for Departmental activities, e.g. away days, to enhance teaching and learning and/or doctoral supervision. Please note that funding is subject to prior approval by the Head of CARD. Criteria are:

  • that the funding should relate to activities in relation to teaching, learning, assessment or research supervision (funding to support attendance at research conferences should be sought from Departments);
  • that there should be a clear rationale and statement of the likely benefits;
  • that there should be a statement of the costs likely to be entailed. 

Applications should be made to Dr Stan Taylor (stan.taylor@durham.ac.uk) A condition of funding is to prepare a short report on the event, which may be published in 'Quality Enhancement at Durham'.
