New for 2026: Conference bursary fund

If you're a dairy levy payer, you can apply for up to £300 towards the cost of attending a conference of your choice.

Attending an agricultural conference is a great opportunity to keep up to date with the latest science, newest thinking and network with other professionals.

The outcomes can result in early adoption of new science on farm and help you explore practical ways to improve productivity and efficiency.

This bursary is open to people who:

• Work within a UK dairy levy-paying business
• Are willing to share their key learnings after the conference

If your application is successful, you will be asked to share your key learnings after the conference. This could be:

• A written piece
• A short video

We want to know what you learned, why it’s important for the industry, and what you might do differently as a result.

You can claim up to £300 towards eligible costs, including conference delegate fees, travel and accommodation.

Claims must be supported with receipts.

Funds are limited, and applications will be assessed on how likely it is that what you learn will be put into practice.

There can only be one successful applicant per business in any year period.
