SRF support to junior members for Annual Conference

Reclaim some of your conference costs!

One of the major functions of the SRF is to support its members, and the Society would particularly like to encourage more junior members to attend its meetings. The Society will offer up to £350 for its junior members to attend the Annual Conference.

You will need to attend each day of the conference and if you qualify you can claim this support annually.
Qualifying junior members of the society include PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. To qualify, PhD students should attend each day of the conference. Postdoctoral fellows should be the first author of an abstract and should attend and present their work at the conference. To claim this support, you need to be a non-statutory member of the Society at the time of the meeting or have your membership application accepted at the AGM. You must not have a permanent academic position and your status will need to be confirmed by your supervisor or PI.

How to claim

• If necessary, submit the SRF membership application included in your conference information, complete the online membership application form or contact the SRF Business Office: phone Pat Kitching on 01423 564488)
  
• After the conference, complete and submit the claim form which you will find in your conference registration pack. Claims must be submitted within 1 month of the conference.
