SLAS Support for Conference and Event Organisation

SLAS funds amounting to around £3,000 annually are available to support conferences and other events which are likely to advance the objects of the Society, to be of high quality, to appeal to a considerable number of members, and which would in other ways reflect well on the Society.

The maximum allocation will be £1,000 per conference or event. All conferences and events supported must be open to all members of the Society, subject to appropriate conference fees being paid. The contribution of the Society to any conference or event is to be clearly and publicly acknowledged.

Applications (no longer than 2-3 pages) should include statements of aims and objectives and projected outcomes. Evidence of firm support from elsewhere and a clear statement of anticipated income and expenditure will normally be required. There are two application dates – 28 February and 28 September. Applications should be submitted electronically to the SLAS Secretary by the appropriate closing date in the semester preceding the proposed event. The Secretary will then circulate the applications to members of the SLAS Committee, and decisions will be made at the first Committee meeting after the closing date.

Applications should be e-mailed to: Adrian.Pearce@sas.ac.uk. Applications arriving after the deadline will not be considered under any circumstances.
