Cumulus Plus Grant: Join Cumulus Dunedin 2026

The Cumulus Association has opened applications for the Cumulus Plus Grant to support participation in Cumulus Dunedin 2026, the Cumulus conference on the theme Design at the End of the Earth, hosted by Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin, New Zealand, from 25 to 27 November 2026. Three grants of up to 1,500 euros per person are available. The funding is intended to support conference participation, including registration, travel and accommodation. The grant is aimed at researchers and academic and administrative staff who hold permanent teaching positions in art, design or media at bachelor level or above, and who represent countries or regions with little or no current presence in the Cumulus network. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a commitment to internationalising higher education and research in these disciplines. Applications close on 16 August 2026. Full details and the application form are available on the Cumulus Association website.
