We understand that participation in conferences, training, and research events is important for career development and also recognise that this may involve challenges for staff who are carers and those with children. 

As part of our commitment to supporting parents and carers in their engagement with work-related training activities, Queen’s Gender Initiative and the Research and Enterprise Directorate are delighted to announce the launch of the Carer’s Research Support Fund as part of the Athena Swan Programme.

 Find out more about the fund which is running as a pilot during this academic year, and how to apply here.
