J R Beard Travelling Fund

Regulations and who should apply?

Applicants must be in any category of membership at the date of the application.
In recognition of J R Beard's interest in the education of young people, Grants will be awarded to Members carrying out career development activities, to assist them to travel overseas to further the objectives of the IET.
The purpose of these awards is to enable members to broaden their educational and/or professional experience, especially in manufacturing techniques, for example, via a study tour, through working in industry, or through participation in an international conference or seminar.
Retrospective applications (for travel already undertaken) will not be considered.
Successful applicants will be required to provide a professional report of up to 1000 words on their experiences, which may be published in an IET magazine. The award holder will also be required to provide a short synopsis outlining the benefits obtained through traveling to an event at an international location (which would not have been obtained if the award holder had attended an equivalent event in the United Kingdom), together with a breakdown of the expenses incurred during the visit.
The successful applicant must notify the IET should there be any change to the proposed date of the visit, itinerary or venue prior to departure.
Decisions reached will be regarded as final and no further correspondence relating to the allocation of awards can be entered into once the results have been announced.
