UCISA is pleased to announce that it is continuing to support its Bursary-funded PlusOne scheme SSG25: Getting Better All the Time: Sharing Journeys to Excellence in IT Support.
With the growing challenge of talent management coinciding with a tightening of budgets in many institutions, UCISA is continuing to support its members by enabling delegates attending the full SSG25 Conference programme to bring along an institutional colleague to SSG25.
The UCISA PlusOne Scheme will enable UCISA members who have booked to attend the conference by the early bird deadline to refer an institutional colleague by completing this PlusOne nomination form.
Delegates can nominate a colleague from their institution for a PlusOne Bursary funded place regardless of whether they have attended previous UCISA conferences.
Previous recipients of the PlusOne scheme have said:
“I really enjoyed my time at SSG24 and would definitely attend again, I’d recommend anyone that is looking to expand their mind and viewpoint and learn and listen to new ideas attend. It was not just the speakers that held value, but interacting with other attendees also helps to hear their different approaches to the same challenges we all face in our organisations”
and
“As I move forward, I carry with me the insights gained and a renewed sense of purpose in my role. I look forward to applying what I’ve learned and continuing to engage with my peers in this ever-changing field.”
A limited number of places are available for this bursary funding, which is intended to support colleagues who will benefit from the experience of attending SSG25, but whose institution would not have the budget for them to do so.
As part of UCISA’s commitment to inclusion, we welcome referrals from colleagues from under-represented backgrounds. Preference will be given to those who have not attended a UCISA conference before, but delegates can nominate anyone from their institution.
Before referring a colleague, please ensure that you discuss referral with them first and make them aware that to be eligible, they will be required to share their findings from the conference with their institutional colleagues’ post-event, as well as disseminate their experience in a format of their choice that may be published on the UCISA website and/or social media channels.
Referees must have booked their place for the full SSG25 Conference by the early bird deadline of 16th May 2025, and in the PlusOne nomination form, explain the reasons why their nominated colleague deserves a bursary-funded place at SSG25.
Successful nominees will be contacted by the UCISA Events team regarding booking their full place at SSG25.
