Experimental Physiology symposium support request form

Experimental Physiology (EP) has a limited budget each year dedicated to sponsoring scientific meetings and symposia. If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please complete the form below.
Applications will be discussed on a quarterly basis by Experimental Physiology's Senior Editorial Team and those selected will be informed shortly afterwards. Please note that our sponsorship will range in value from approximately £200-1500. It is therefore unlikely that Experimental Physiology can cover the full costs associated with a symposium. Applications can come from people who have already organised a meeting and are seeking additional funds, or could be a proposal for a new meeting for which Experimental Physiology will be a part-sponsor. It is the responsibility of the organiser to secure all the funds necessary to undertake the meeting. Support from Experimental Physiology will be limited to a monetary contribution and in no way constitutes assistance with the running or administration of the meeting.
It is an expectation of sponsorship that some or all of the speakers at the event will be invited to contribute a short review article for consideration for publication. In some cases we may make sponsorship conditional on the submission of review articles. It is also possible to arrange for a call for original research papers related to the conference topic, to be sent to (for example) conference attendees. In this case, the proposers should identify one of
Experimental Physiology's Senior Editors who would be willing to oversee the Call for Papers, if the meeting is supported.
Please ensure that you provide all the information requested. If you need to submit any supporting documentation with your application, please send this to the Senior Editorial Team expphysiol@physoc.org
