LARAC is delighted to announce that the 2024 scholarship places to our UK Conference this October have now been allocated.
We are very proud to share that this will be LARAC's 20th cohort of scholars.
A big thank you to REPIC, who will again be funding this year's intake of scholars!
The Scholar experience will kick off on the 8th October with the pre-conference interactive seminar and evening event. Then on the 9th and 10th October they will join the full conference programme, including the Awards event on the first evening. Plus, their travel expenses and accommodation is included in the package. It's a great opportunity for the newer members of our member authorities to learn and gain a great insight into the exciting world of recycling and waste. Furthermore, the scholar experience will continue with REPIC to include various opportunities and site visits post-conference.
Congratulations to our winners!
