Student-led Events Funding

Techne has funding available to support Student-led Events. These must be organised by at least 3 students from more than one Techne institution and can have a budget of up to £1,000. Student-led events or initiatives may include but are not limited to: symposia, performances, workshops, poster days, exhibitions, public engagement events or awaydays. 

The deadline to apply is Friday 28 November 2025. The next deadline is expected to be in Spring 2026.

If you wish to apply, you will need to complete both the main application form and the Techne Event Equalities Impact Assessment. Applications should be sent to techne@rhul.ac.uk with ‘Student-Led Event Funding Application’ in the subject field. All applications will be acknowledged, and considered by the Techne Training Group.

Full guidance about Student-Led Events and how to apply is available here, and we update this document between application cycles. There are typically two deadlines for applications through the year, to coincide with meetings of the Techne Training Group and therefore details of the next deadline will be circulated by email in due course. 

Techne students can also apply to run the annual Student Led Conference which normally takes place in November each year. Registration for the Student-Led Conference 2025 will be opening shortly, so watch this space!
