Sponsored Event Grants
Apply for a Sponsored Seminar Series grant and, if successful, the Biochemical Society can assist with the costs associated with hosting a seminar series within your institution.
The grant is intended to help with the travel costs for guest speakers at a series of seminars or lectures throughout the year. The grant can also be used to assist with catering costs should any refreshments be provided with the lectures or seminars.
The intended lectures must help us with our mission of promoting the future of molecular biosciences; facilitating the sharing of expertise, supporting the advancement of biochemistry and molecular biology, and raising awareness of their importance in addressing societal grand challenges.
Grants of £500, £750, £1000 and £1500 will be awarded to successful applicants. Applicants will be required to justify the level of support sought. The level of support will depend on the biochemical content of the lecture series, the size of the institution, the number of planned seminars or lectures and the expected number of attendees.
Deadline for applications:
- 20 June
Requirements:
- All intended speakers within the series must give a talk that has a biochemical or molecular biology focus.
- The seminar series must consist of three or more lectures to be eligible for a grant.
