What are the 2013 Professional Development Awards?

The 2013 Professional Development Awards are two $5,000 grants that will be awarded to ECU staff members to assist in their personal and professional development, either through attendance at a relevant international conference, or undertaking further study or research in their chosen field of endeavour.

How do I win?

Simply research an international conference that has the potential to be staged in Western Australia and present a brief case as to why that conference should be held here.

What is the $5000 used for?

The award covers air travel as well as accommodation and registration to a relevant conference or study or research support expenses to a maximum of $5,000. In the event that the successful applicant’s organisation is not currently a member of their international body, the $5,000 award can contribute to the cost of their joining fee.

Who funds the awards?

The awards are proudly funded by the Perth Convention Bureau, which is responsible for marketing Western Australia as a business events destination.

Please see the flyer for the selection criteria and contact details to receive further guidelines.

Applications close 29 March 2013.
