The travel bursaries of the Centre for Law, Technology and Society seek to encourage the participation of masters and doctorate students in scientific events and activities within Canada or internationally to present their research.
The purpose of these bursaries is to cover the cost of registration, transportation or accommodation for activities.
The amount and number of bursaries to be awarded will depend on the funds available each term.
This financial aid program is generously supported by donations made to the Centre for Law, Technology and Society.
Applicants must be full-time graduate students enrolled in a master’s or doctoral program at the University of Ottawa, supervised by a Faculty member of the Centre for Law, Technology and Society, and present on a topic related to technology law, ethics or policy.
Students must demonstrate that their supervisor will also contribute by funding their travel in an amount at least equal to the requested amount.
Students should also seek other sources of funding (e.g. Faculties’ Graduate Offices, student associations, etc.) and provide the status of the application in the letter of request.
Students can apply more than once to this program and receive more than one travel bursary each year. However, except under exceptional circumstances, they can only receive one travel bursary per term.
When possible, the student should make sure their affiliation with the Centre is included in the conference's program and in their presentation materials. Should the presentation lead to a publication, acknowledgement of the affiliation to and support by the Centre will be required.
Applications must be submitted by e-mail before the trip to [email protected], with a copy to the supervisor, and must include:
Students will have to submit receipts within 15 days of their return to Canada. More information will be provided in the notice of award.
While applications can be submitted anytime, there are three campaigns by academic year: Fall, Winter and Spring/Summer. Centre’s affiliates will receive a message when the campaign is launched, and the deadline to apply to be considered in this campaign. Any application received after the deadline will be automatically considered in the next campaign.
This bursary program is managed by the Centre for Law, Technology and Society.
For any questions regarding this program (eligibility, calendar, etc.), please reach out to the Centre at [email protected].
