If you are interested in learning more about flies and are thinking of attending the Preston Montford Field Studies Centre workshop in March 2027 or our summer field meeting in May 2027, do consider applying for one of our half-cost bursaries. If you would like to apply (or would like more information) please contact John Mousley by email at: johnsallymousley@gmail.com
Your application should say what you hope to gain from attending, how you would expect to contribute to the Forum’s
aims of studying, recording and conservation of Diptera, and why you would benefit from financial assistance. If you are
currently involved in a research programme, please include brief details. We will be looking for evidence of enthusiasm
and interest in flies. Preference may be given to those who have not received a bursary previously. Applications should not
exceed 300 words. Successful applicants will be expected to write a short account of their experience for the Bulletin.
Applicants must be members of the Dipterists Forum at the time of their application. The closing dates for applications are December 7th 2026 for the Preston Montford workshop and January 31st 2027 for the summer field meeting.
