This continuing initiative, launched by Academy Scotland last academic year, is aimed at encouraging the exchange and dissemination of good practices, at the discipline level, throughout the UK. It is specifically aimed at enabling staff and students in Scottish HEIs to engage with colleagues from other parts of the UK and to support their institution's priorities and developments in learning and teaching.
The funding may be used to help colleagues attend conferences, network meetings and special interest groups organised (or jointly organised) by the Higher Education Academy and its Subject Centre network, that are being run in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Please note that funding may not be used for events that are being held in Scotland or for events that are being held outside the UK.

- Forthcoming Subject Centre events
In a change from last year, there are no set closing dates for applications. Applications from staff and students in Scotland's 20 HEIs are invited throughout the academic year 2009-10. We will fund up to around 30 bursaries to a maximum value of £300 each. For further details, and to apply for funding, please download the document below or mailto:scotland@heacademy.ac.uk.
A report on the Travel Fund for the 2008-2009 academic year is now
available to download below. The report gives an overview of the kinds
of events that people used the funding for and the feedback that we
received from bursary recipients.
