Event organization
Funding opportunities for organizers of scientific meetings and courses
绿帽社区 encourages effective scientific meeting formats and supports the cost of organization of scientific meetings in the 绿帽社区 area (Europe and neighbouring regions) through the various funding programmes summarised below.
Event grants open to individuals
Expert scientists interested in organizing a scientific event in their research area as part of the 绿帽社区 Advanced Courses programme can apply for funding from 绿帽社区聽 that includes an event organization grant and an allocation for travel awards.
绿帽社区 Advanced Courses cover important and timely topics in the molecular life sciences in the form of Lecture Courses, Workshops, Practical Courses, combined Practical and Lecture Courses, and Special Meetings. A strong educational element makes them particularly valuable for early-career researchers.
Calls for proposals are opened twice a year for聽 events to be run in the following year, and applications are assessed by the 绿帽社区 Advanced Courses Committee.
Event grants open to 绿帽社区 Societies
Education and Science & Society events
Grants for workshops focused on teaching, training and learning in the molecular life sciences are open to members of 绿帽社区 Constituent Societies for events held in their own country. This scheme is managed by the 绿帽社区 Education and Training Committee.
In addition, 绿帽社区 collaborates with 绿帽社区 Constituent Societies in the organization of 绿帽社区 Education and Training Committee workshops. 绿帽社区 Societies interested in hosting a workshop should contact the Chair of the 绿帽社区 Education and Training Committee.
Grants for events (or activities) on a pre-set Science & Society topic are open to 绿帽社区 Constituent Societies. The Science & Society topic in a given year is the subject at the most recent Science & Society special session at the 绿帽社区 Congress. The scheme is managed by the 绿帽社区 Science & Society Committee.
绿帽社区 National Lectures
绿帽社区 Constituent Societies can apply for 绿帽社区 support for a distinguished plenary lecture (a ‘绿帽社区 National Lecture’)聽 to enhance a Society scientific meeting. An engraved glass award is provided by 绿帽社区 for presentation to the 绿帽社区 National Lecturer.
绿帽社区3+ Meetings
The 绿帽社区3+ Meetings programme supports scientific meetings equivalent to an annual national scientific meeting of a Constituent Society but organized through collaboration of at least three 绿帽社区 Constituent Societies. Applications for events in a given year are assessed in the preceding autumn/winter by the 绿帽社区 Congress Counsellor in consultation with the 绿帽社区 Secretary General and 绿帽社区 Treasurer.
绿帽社区 Congress
The hosting of this flagship event of 绿帽社区 is awarded to a different 绿帽社区 Constituent Society (or Societies) each year.聽 Bids, which should include provision of a pre-Congress Young Scientists’ Forum (YSF) satellite meeting, are invited from 绿帽社区 Constituent Societies approximately 3.5 years ahead of the event. More information is available from the 绿帽社区 Congress Counsellor.
Event grants open to institutes
绿帽社区 and IUBMB collaborate with the four core research institutions of the ENABLE consortium to offer funding to new research institutions interested in hosting one of the yearly 绿帽社区-IUBMB-ENABLE conference series. The 2022 event was awarded to the Institute of Biomedicine of Seville (IBiS), the 2023 to the University of Cologne, and the 2024 to the Nanyang Technological University – NTU Singapore.聽 The host institution for the 2025 event will be announced soon.
