Funding opportunities

We offer a number of different funding schemes to which BAFTSS members can apply:
  • Conference attendance support
  • ​Events funding
  • SIG funding

Scroll down for more information.

Please note: the continuation of all funding schemes is dependent on the availability of funds, so these schemes may be subject to change.

Conference Attendance Support

The BAFTSS Executive Committee announce a new BAFTSS Funding Scheme

Conference Travel Bursaries for Early Career Researcher/Mid-Career/ Visiting/Affiliated and Independent Researchers


Amount available: 6 x £150 Conference Bursaries per annum. 

Call for Applications: now open.


Deadlines: see below

3 Conference Bursaries of £150 each will be made in this first round of awards. 

Rationale: 
​
At the BAFTSS 2020 AGM, the association’s membership voted in favour of an amendment to the BAFTSS constitution. The amendment instigated a new role on the Executive Committee and marked our commitment to increasing awareness and visibility of the issues faced by Early Career / Mid-Career/ Visiting/ Affiliated and Independent Researchers in precarious employment and those who are unpaid or in visiting roles. 
 
The BAFTSS Executive Committee is now introducing a new funding scheme, which is to form part of BAFTSS’ commitment to supporting the researchers in film, television, and screen studies who are otherwise under-supported. The aim of the funding scheme is to facilitate direct representation of Researchers and Hourly Paid Lectures who are post-PhD award, yet remain without access to research funding, to be able to present their work at conferences. 


The deadlines for applications for the first two years are:​
  • Monday 30 May 2022 (for conferences between 30th May and 31st December 2022) 3 awards
  • Wednesday 30th November 2022 (for conferences 30th November 2022 and 1st March 2023) 3 awards
  • Monday 27th February 2023 (for conferences between 27th February and 31st December 2023) 3 awards
  • Thursday 30th November 2023 (for conferences between 30th November 2023 and 31st May 2024) 3 awards

​Further details of the scheme and how to apply are available here.

BAFTSS Conference 2023 Attendance

BAFTSS offers a limited number of bursaries of up to £150 to Postgraduates, Early Career Researchers, Mid-career Researchers and Independent Scholars wishing to attend the annual BAFTSS Conference, who do not have access to other institutional funding.

Further details of the scheme and how to apply are available here.

SIG Funding

BAFTSS has made a limited amount of funding available to support the research and networking activities of the BAFTSS Special Interest Groups.

Bids should support events that are in keeping with the BAFTSS Mission Statement and the BAFTSS and BAFTSS SIG membership.

​Applications are assessed on the basis of academic merit.


Further details of the scheme and how to apply are available here.

Event Funding

We offer a scheme open to all members (including postgraduates) to contribute costs towards the organising of events.

  • The events fund has two deadlines: 31 March for events taking place the following August-January and 31 October for events taking place the following February-July. 
  • There is a limited amount of funding available from BAFTSS for this scheme, which is typically for the support of seminars, symposia and local conferences organized by individual members of BAFTSS (faculty, graduate students, independent researchers).
  • Events may take place in-person, online or be hybrid.
  • Funding requested should amount to no more than £300.

​Further details of the scheme, including caps, exclusions and how to apply are available here.
