**Call for Conference Proposals**

The Mahindra Center invites all Harvard graduate students to submit proposals to coordinate an Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference. Funding for the conference will be available up to the amount of $8,000.

**Guidelines**

- Proposal submissions should consist of a one- to two-page description, outlining the proposed theme, structure, timeline, keynote speaker (if applicable), and well-thought-out budget.
- Conference topic should be interdisciplinary, and proposal should make the case for its innovative approaches and relevance to a range of fields.
- Proposal should be a collaborative effort between two or more Harvard graduate students.
- Only one panel should be scheduled at a time to maximize attendance.
- Since this is an opportunity for graduate students to share and explore their work in a collegial environment, faculty involvement should be minimal. You are welcome to propose faculty as panel moderators or keynote speakers, though be mindful of the budgetary limitations (travel/ honorarium/hotel) with the latter.
- In addition to $8,000 from the Mahindra Center, coordinators are encouraged to seek additional funding from their respective departments.
- Proposals for conferences already in the development stage, but whose organizers are seeking additional funding, will not be considered.
- You may download examples of [past graduate conference budgets and proposals](https://www.dropbox.com/s/jm1lm8x26ifwfqc/successful%20conference%20budgets%20and%20proposals%20of%20years%20past(1).pdf?dl=0).
