Requisits
The applicant who completes the form must be in the organising group for the meeting. Applications from professional fund-raisers will not be considered.
Incomplete application forms will not be considered.
Information on the topics/programme outline, speakers/proposed speakers and the budget outline for the whole meeting must be included with the application form. Please keep this information to a maximum of six pages in total.
Please note that whilst the quality of science remains paramount, The Company of Biologists would prefer to support meetings and events where organisers have sought maximal feasible diversity in speakers in terms of geography, gender and age. In addition, where attendance at events is selective, then we would expect such issues to also be influential. We invite applicants to make a statement on these issues in their application for funding.
Funding requests must be in GB Pounds Sterling.
Application forms and supporting information must be written in English.
What will not be funded?
Expenditure on capital equipment and capital building proposals

Dotació
Although there are no rigid rules, we would normally expect grants to be broadly proportional to the size of the meeting. Typically, they are awarded on a sliding scale where meetings with fewer than 100 people are given up to £2,000, or over about 400 people up to £6,000. These limits can be exceeded in exceptional cases, but special justification is required.
