The Music Libraries Trust is now accepting applications for bursaries to attend the Cambridge 2023 IAML International Congress, including funds from the Ian Ledsham bursary. This year’s IAML international congress in Cambridge will be held from 30 July to 4 August. See the conference website for more information and booking details.

As the IAML International Congress is being hosted in the UK this year, the Music Libraries Trust is pleased to announce it will be providing a number of bursaries to IAML (UK & Irl) members for attendance. These will be a mixture of full and part bursaries up to £395, depending on the number and the needs of applicants. Applications for funding for the cost of both the entire week and specific days will be considered.

The successful candidates will be required to write a 1,000-word report about attending the conference that may be published on relevant IAML and MLT websites. The full application procedure and funding application form can be found on and downloaded from the Music Libraries Trust website. The deadline for submitting applications is the 23rd of April. To apply, please fill out the form and email it with any other supporting documents to the Bursaries Administrator, Richard Douglas, at bursaries@musiclibrariestrust.org.
