Following the success of the bursary in 2017 and 2018, UHR has again offered the opportunity to an HR professional in mid-career, to attend the annual CUPA-HR conference, this year in Denver, Colorado, from 20 to 22 October. This development opportunity includes UHR funding conference attendance, accommodation, and reasonable subsistence and travel costs. Further support to visit a local university in the area is also available.
CUPA is the equivalent of UHR in the USA, and for many years, there has been reciprocal attendance between the two organisations by two senior members of their executives. UHR agreed with CUPA that one of its delegate places would be offered to an HR professional in mid-career, to encourage international, reciprocal learning and develop talent within the HE sector in the UK.
