Student scholarships: British Archaeological Association’s Toulouse Romanesque Conference, deadline 31 January 2026

The British Archaeological Association are excited to announce that they have a number of Student scholarships for those wishing to attend the ninth biennial International Romanesque Conference.

This conference focuses on Transmission, Reception, and Imitation in Romanesque art and architecture and will be held at the Hôtel d’Assézat in Toulouse from 13-15 April 2026. This is followed by a two-day programme of visits to sites such as Moissac and monuments in Toulouse on 16-17 April 2026.

Scholarships will only be awarded to those who can attend the conference in its entirety. The scholarship covers lectures and site visits, accommodation for two nights, entrance fees and all included meals, refreshments and receptions. Travel to the conference is not included. 

Scholarships are given to those studying at postgraduate level and those who have been awarded research degrees in these areas within the last two years. The scholarships are funded by the generosity of those attending and the number awarded varies according to the funds available. Successful applicants are expected to join the BAA if not already members. For up-to-date details about the conference, keep an eye on the conference webpage.
