CILIP North East are delighted to announce that we are sponsoring one bursary place with two nights accommodation (11th & 12th July) and travel at CILIP Conference 2023. This bursary place is designed to offer a CILIP member who is currently studying / new to the profession and/or without the financial means to cover the ticket – an opportunity to attend the conference and benefit from career professional development and networking opportunities.
The programme of CILIP Conference 2023 is designed to
upskill, connect and develop established, emerging and aspiring leaders to move
the needle of pressing issues within the sector and support their next career
move.
It is CILIP North East’s aim that this bursary place will support an aspiring or emerging leader in our profession to develop their career and empower them to take their next step into leadership. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have never been to the CILIP Conference before, and who wouldn’t ordinarily be able to go.
