European Early Childhood Education Research Association 28th Conference

Macquarie University recognises that primary carer responsibilities can present a barrier to attending and presenting at academic conferences, especially for those researchers in the early to mid-stages of their careers. This barrier can reduce networking opportunities and the visibility of a researcher’s work. The Primary Carer Support for Conference Attendance funding scheme is aimed at reducing
this barrier by providing financial support for extraordinary caring arrangements for primary carers to facilitate conference participation.
