Sponsored Event Grants
Sponsored Event Grants provide sponsorship of up to £500 to assist with the independent organisation of single lectures, seminar series or small events.
Application for sponsorship of relevant scientific meetings or events that are cross-institutional and regional and student-focused will be looked upon more favourably. Note that this fund does NOT support events for school students, which are covered under our EDI and Outreach Grants.
Applications are considered once a year.
Deadlines:
- 15 June 2026
To be eligible to apply:
- Applicants must be a current Postgraduate, Early Career, Full, or Emeritus member of the Biochemical Society.
- Applicants need to have been a member for at least 12 months immediately prior to the deadline on the closing date of the round applied to. Members that have joined as multiyear members are eligible to apply for a General Travel Grant after six months of membership has elapsed. If you are not a member, join today.
- Your event should take place at least one month after the deadline.
- The event must have a biochemical or molecular bioscience focus.
- Applicants cannot receive funding from the same scheme in consecutive years.
- Applicants must not exceed a maximum of £2,000 in funding in a 3-year period across the Biochemical Society grants portfolio.
As a condition of the grant, the Society asks the recipient to:
- Badge the event, session or speaker as ‘sponsored by the Biochemical Society’
- Display Biochemical Society branded material, which will be provided
- Send a report for consideration for publication in The Biochemist and/or on the web, including photographs.
Consideration will also be given to support of virtual meetings.
