It is important to start organising the event well in advance. A time frame of one and a half years for a large conference is by no means too early. A detailed checklist for organising a congress is available upon request at the LUCL Office.

The Institute’s office can help you create a fairly accurate budget and offers practical assistance (see below). This budget should contain a section on the expected revenue of the conference. Most conferences charge a conference fee. Reimbursement of travel expenses for the speakers is not an absolute must.

The board of LUCL decides whether and how much subsidy is granted. In each case this will be decided in the light of the available budget for that particular year.
For applications at the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics, please use the appropriate application form.

Please pay special attention to application deadlines when applying for a Leiden University Fund (LUF) subsidy. LUF processes applications at seven meetings during a year and does not award grants for past activities. Refer to the LUF website.

Should you receive grants from more than one institute, you can ask the Financial Department (FEZ) for a SAP-number specifically for the conference. Also contact the FSSC Servicepoint by telephone (071-5275555) or by email for further financially administrative guidance.
