Objectiu de la convocatòria
Funding for charitable activities including – but not limited to - meetings, workshops and conferences in the fields covered by The Company of Biologists' journals.
Característiques principals
The grant can cover expenses such as a plenary or keynote speaker, assistance with travel for early-career researchers, or to reduce (or waive) registration fees.
As part of the Sustainable Conferencing Initiative, funding may also be available to help finance innovative ideas that enable biologists to collaborate proactively whilst minimising their impact on the environment. Applications for this funding are also invited as part of the Scientific Meeting Grant process from organisers of a wide range of scientific events including meetings, workshops, conferences, seminars, training and networking.

  • 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.
