Call for grant applications for organising events on language diversity management in UAB classrooms (2022)

As the UAB and its students become more and more international in nature, lecturers often have to cope with classes that are highly diverse in terms of languages and cultures. 

These grants aim to help in organising conferences and seminars, to be held in 2022, for lecturers to share their experiences in managing diversity in UAB classrooms or research groups.

The grants are intended to cover the following costs, partially or fully.

1. Organising, publicising and conducting the event.
2. Remuneration for speakers, which may cover their participation in the event and travel expenses.
3. Financial assistance for students and young researchers attending the event.
4. Audiovisual support for virtual or telepresence workshops (e.g. video editing of the workshop).

Academic staff and Administration and Services staff who are member of the organising committee of the event may apply for the grants.

This grant is compatible with other grants and funding awarded for the same purpose as long as they are destined to cover different costs.
