CAGR 2026 LMIC Bursary Application Form

Current Advances in Gambling Research 2026 will take place in Helsinki, Finland, on 28–29 May 2026. 
 

CAGR focuses on sharing new and emerging research in the field of gambling studies. This year, we’re especially interested in seeing submissions focusing on sociology of gambling, real-world impact, and control & governance.

 

We appreciate the barriers frequently faced by researchers from low- or middle-income countries (LMIC) when seeking to attend conferences in the Global North. CAGR is therefore pleased to invite applications for a bursary to cover travel, accommodation and visa fees for researchers who are keen to present their research at CAGR. Conference fees will be waived.

 

To be eligible for this bursary scheme, we ask that you:

- Are employed by or studying at a university or research unit within an LMIC* 
- Live in an LMIC*
- Conduct research on any aspect of gambling

 

*LMIC, as defined by OECD’s ODA list can be found here.

 

Accepted contributions will be presented as oral presentations (15 minutes) or posters. We also invite proposals for pre-conference workshops, to be held on 27 May. If you would like to host a workshop, you may submit your proposal through this form as well. Multiple contribution types may be selected, in this case please indicate which is your preferred format. 


The deadline for the LMIC bursary application and abstract submission is 31 December 2025.

If you have any questions about the bursary application, please contact cagrconference@gmail.com

 General

 DEI

The CAGR organising committee applies DEI information to monitor alignment with the CAGR Operating Principles. This information is used to monitor, encourage, and strengthen representation across a diverse number of institutions, countries, research backgrounds, and lived experiences. 

i.e. Early career, middle career, senior career. 

An early career researcher is a researcher within seven years from the date of their first research-related appointment, minus eligible delays in research. Research-related appointments are defined as those where the individual has the autonomy to conduct research independently and all eligible leaves (e.g., maternity, parental, medical, bereavement) are credited as twice the amount of time taken, and professional leaves (e.g., training, sabbatical, administrative) are not credited. CAGR aims for a minimum of 20% of presentations to be delivered by early career researchers. 

"If yes – please specify the year and type of presentation (i.e., oral, poster, 3-min talk, etc.)."
