Are you an aspiring or emerging leader in the profession keen to develop your career and upskill yourself?
UKeiG is delighted to announce that it is sponsoring 3 bursary places to attend CILIP’s online Rewired Conference 2026. The UKeiG Management Committee is happy to accept applications from CILIP members at any stage in their career, including library and information students and currently unwaged colleagues. In a period where CPD budgets are tight these bursaries provide an excellent opportunity to experience a state-of-the-art online event at no cost to your organisation.
The Rewired programme is designed to articulate the sector’s response to digital transformation in a time of disruptive change. These bursary places will support tech-curious colleagues to develop the skills, knowledge and awareness of the current digital landscape, and encourage transformation and innovation.
Successful bursary recipients will be expected to produce a written report of their experiences of and learning outcomes from the event. The reports will be published in UKeiG’s open access journal eLucidate and shared with the CILIP team to publish in print and/or online.
