UCISA is pleased to announce that we are continuing to support our Bursary-funded PlusOne scheme in 2025 and therefore applications for PlusOne nominations of UCISA25 are open.
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 UCISA25 Leadership Conference programme to bring along a delegate to UCISA25 from their institution.
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 one colleague from their institution for a PlusOne Bursary funded place regardless of whether they have attended previous UCISA conferences.
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 UCISA25, 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 UCISA25 Leadership Conference and nominated their colleague by 24th January 2025 and in the PlusOne nomination form, explain the reasons why their nominated colleague deserves a bursary-funded place at UCISA25.
Successful applicants will be contacted after the submission closing date regarding booking their place at the conference.
