Student Societies Sponsored Lectures
Purpose
The scheme aims to promote talks on microbiological topics at
Student Society meetings. Grants are available to each society
to support TWO lectures on microbiological topics per academic
year.
Rules
- A Student Society is eligible for support if:
- It is run mainly by and for students, postgraduates as
well as undergraduates. (The Society does not have to be
a Microbiology Society, it can be a Biological Sciences
Society, Biochemistry Society or similar.)
- It is based in the UK or Republic of Ireland.
- The lecture(s) must be on a microbiological topic.
- The invited speakers will be reimbursed directly for reasonable
costs of travel and accommodation. The maximum claim for each
speaker is £150, even if the speaker comes from overseas
or from Ireland.
- If the speaker
is entertained to dinner before the Lecture up to a maximum amount of £50 may be claimed (the Student Society will be reimbursed directly). Only the costs
for the speaker and ONE member of the committee may be claimed.
- All claims are paid retrospectively and must be supported
by receipts.
- Each lecture must be advertised as "Sponsored by the Society
for General Microbiology" and promotional literature about SGM must be made available at the seminar.
- Retrospective applications will not be considered.
- Applications must be made on the appropriate form. ONE copy of the completed application form and all supplementary documentation must be submitted for consideration.
