International delegate awards

ARLIS Conference International delegate award

The ARLIS/UK & Ireland Annual Conference International Delegate Award has been established in response to the generous hospitality offered to ARLIS/UK & Ireland representatives at overseas conferences, and to complement the other ARLIS/UK & Ireland Travel Awards which encourage the professional development of UK & Ireland art librarians through contact with colleagues overseas, particularly through conference participation.

The International Delegate Award is designed to encourage attendance by overseas professionals at the ARLIS/UK & Ireland Annual Conference, to broaden the field of delegates at the Annual Conference and to support the professional development of art librarians in an international context. Although not exclusively for first-time delegates, priority will be given to applicants who have not attended an ARLIS/UK & Ireland Annual Conference before.

The award will consist of a single fully-funded place at the ARLIS/UK & Ireland Annual Conference.
The award does not include travel costs.
