These two conferences are an exciting opportunity for a developing professional to socialise and network with peers, make new connections, serendipitous discoveries, break out of your own silo to hear from others across the sector. But don’t take our word for it – here is what Beth Montague-Hellen, the award winner in 2023, says:</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><em><span><span><span><span>“Winning the Merriman award last year really opened up the worlds of scholarly communications and publishing to me.

Not least among these opportunities was the chance to attend the NASIG conference in the USA, allowing me to understand the similarities and differences between scholarly communications between our two countries, something I never would have managed without the bursary.”</span></span></span></span></em></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml_lang="EN"><span><span><span>Named in honour of John Merriman, in recognition of his work in founding both UKSG and NASIG, this prestigious award provides an invaluable opportunity for anyone keen to learn and share experiences from a very different angle.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span><span lang="EN" xml_lang="EN"><span><span><span>One lucky UKSG member has the chance to attend the <strong>NASIG </strong>and <strong>UKSG </strong>conferences this year.
