Conferences, travel and purchasing
The Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems is funded by a EPSRC grant and the programme costs must comply with their guidelines.
You must contact your supervisor and hetsys@warwick.ac.uk with details of the purchase or travel request PRIOR to making any purchase or payment commitments.
The funding you receive is available to cover directly incurred costs required to carry out the PhD project such as travel to conferences, and specialist resources.
All expenses should be directly relevant to the PhD project’s research outputs and must follow the University's expenses policy.
If you're attending a conference we'd like to know more about it:
- Did you win an award?
- Did you present a paper or poster?
- Were you in the presence of a notable person and did you get to meet them?
If you wish to tell us about your experience and place an article in the HetSys newsletter or wider communications, email hetsys@warwick.ac.uk.
Acknowledging your funding and support
Your research publications must acknowledge funding received. This includes, but is not limited to:
- research articles published in journals
- conference proceedings and publication platforms
- monographs
- book chapters
- edited collections
- outputs deposited at institutional or subject repositories.
Acknowledgement of funding should be a sentence with the funding agency written out in full, followed by the grant number in square brackets (if you have one). For example:
This work was supported by the School of Engineering.
This work was supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council [grant number XXXX]
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by comma and space. Where the research was supported by more than one agency, the different agencies should be separated by a semicolon, with “and” before the final funder. For example:
If your research has supported the development of patents or exploitable intellectual property your research organisation must make sure that your funder is fully acknowledged.
You may also need to acknowledge specific grants. Check the terms and conditions of your grant.
Acknowledgement of support to show your gratitude to the contributors of your project or presentation. A thank you statement at the end or beginning of your paper/presentation to supervisors and colleagues their for personal or professional support is a positive and gracious acknowledgement to their contribution.
