The aim of the MACS Athena SWAN Summer Bursary Scheme is to improve gender equality across our disciplines, and more broadly address Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) issues:
- Any project that funds a student from an under-represented group meets the aims of the scheme.
- Likewise, a student project that directly addresses EDI issues also meets the aims of the scheme.
Project proposals and submission
Project ideas can come from students and/or academic staff from across the School on the Dubai and Edinburgh campuses. A project proposal must, however, be submitted by an academic member of staff that is willing to act as the project supervisor. A maximum of one proposal per supervisor can be submitted in this call.
Applications for the Summer 2026 scheme are now open, please see the Application Form for more information.
To apply please send the completed Application Form to athena-macs@hw.ac.uk by the deadline of noon on Friday 3 April 2026.
