If you are a member of the LAGB who is organizing a conference, you may use the online form at the bottom of this page to submit an application to the LAGB president, Prof. Kersti Börjars. Please note that there is a seperate application process for postgraduate conferences.

From the beginning of 2005 the LAGB has adopted a scheme of application rounds. You should bear these in mind when applying for sponsorship. It is not possible to apply for conference funding in retrospect. Your application will be considered for funding at the first decision date which occurs after your application. It is therefore a good idea to plan your submission in advance.

The maximum grant will be £300. If more proposals are received than can be funded, the Committee will consider such factors in making the decision as:

  1. the length of the conference
  2. the policy of submission
  3. the nature of the meeting.

The LAGB committee will then consider the application at the nearest decision date after application. The decision dates are:

  • February 1st
  • June 1st
  • October 1st

Application in respect of events for which attendance is by invitation only will not be eligible. Applicants must be LAGB members at the time of applying for the grant.
