Kindness UK Doctoral Conference Awards
The Kindness UK Conference Awards ran at Sussex from 2016 to 2020.
The Kindness UK Doctoral Conference Award scheme supported conference attendance for postgraduate researchers (PGRs) at Sussex carrying out research that can illuminate kindness and its effect on people and communities.
Kindness is understood to take many different forms, and therefore students working across all academic disciplines were encouraged to apply.
Details of previous winners can be found on the Sussex Kindness Research webpages.
Relevant research could involve work on a very wide range of issues, including (and certainly not restricted to):
- Medical and social care services
- Business practices
- Educational initiatives and strategies
Pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours- Supportive scientific advances, technologies, and products
- Legal/justice practices and political activities
- International aid and development work
- Developments in the arts and the media
Funding was available up to a maximum of £1,000 per student to cover accommodation, travel, and conference registration costs.
The Kindness UK Doctoral Conference Award scheme was administered by the Sussex Researcher School (SRS) on behalf of the University.
