Event proposals and conference grants

We actively encourage members to complete proposals for both Annual Conference sessions and Focused Meetings to develop our programme each year. You can also apply for a Society-Supported Conference Grant to contribute towards speaker expenses at established events.

Please ensure you submit your proposal and applications on time to be considered by our Scientific Conference Committee.

Please also find in this section a link to information on eligibility and how to apply for a Society-Supported Conference Grant.
