SLSA impact and international collaboration grantholders
The SLSA launched its Impact Grants scheme in 2022. The scheme provides funding of up to £1500 for SLSA members' impact activities, such as public engagement events, follow-on funding, podcasts and other media outlets and much more. Full details of the scheme are available on our Impact Scheme page.
International Collaboration Grants were launched in 2023 and first awarded in 2023. They are aimed at supporting SLSA members to undertake international collaborative activities that build connections with socio-legal scholars and socio-legal communities beyond the UK.
