The Geoffrey J. Burton Memorial Fund was established in 1986 with the aim of providing financial assistance to students (postgraduates studying for a higher degree or first-year postdoctoral junior scientists) based in the UK travelling to any conferences or meetings at which they will be presenting a paper or poster. The Fund was renamed in 2002 to the Vision Scientists Memorial Fund so that more awards could be developed.
If you would like to support the long-term sustainability of our awards, please go to the Membership page to make a donation.
