The International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG) offers 3 grants of 300 € (three hundred) Euros to PhD students in Geomorphology from Europe (except UK) who are willing to take part in the BSG Post-Graduate Training Workshop (Windsor, UK, 2–5 December 2024). The Windsor workshop is only for PhD students who started in 2024. The Workshop is organised by the British Society for Geomorphology (BSG) and recognised by the IAG.

The course will provide PhD students with elements of training for research and with an opportunity to meet others at an early stage of their training when they are facing the problems of research design etc. The content is non-technical, but provides training in project management, group work, dealing with large data sets, fieldwork, lab and numerical modelling, gaining funding as well as publication and future career development. Students will also meet a wide variety of academics and facilitators who are practicing researchers as well as the BSG postgrad representatives on the Executive.

The workshop has been running at the Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park for over 30 years – many notable researchers and academics attended and benefited from this course.
