The I J Shelley Travelling Fund is intended to assist members of the IET to undertake overseas travel in order to broaden their professional experience perhaps via a study tour, through working in industry or by participating in an international conference or seminar, preferably in communications engineering. The awards may also assist with travel associated with the presentation of papers at prestigious international conferences, or objectives, which relate to manufacturing techniques. Preference is given to young professionals who, at the early stage of their professional careers, are unable to readily find assistance from conventional sources.
