Grants and Prizes

Sponsored seminars

The sponsored seminars have been established to support institutions wishing to host endocrine seminars, with the intention of raising awareness of endocrinology as a discipline and to attract scientists, clinicians and nurses into the specialty. The Society encourages the sessions to be open to endocrinologists from outside the host institution and publicised regionally.

The seminar will be advertised as The Society for Endocrinology Seminar. Seminar organisers must agree to comply with the following requirements.

  • The seminar must be endocrine-related
  • The seminar is to be known as The Society for Endocrinology Seminar
  • The Society will publicise the seminar to its members
  • The institution must advertise the seminar session regionally as well as within their own institute. Young scientists and clinicians should be especially encouraged to attend. The Society will send literature that should be displayed and distributed at the event and may also send a staff member, who may wish to address the delegates.

Eligibility

Applications will only be considered if submitted by a member of the Society for Endocrinology. Full, Associate and Nurse Members may apply if they hold a minimum of one year’s membership. Clinicians-in-Training and Scientists-in-Training may apply if they hold a minimum of six months’ membership. It is anticipated that the applicant will normally be an academic or academic-related staff member. If not, a letter of support is required by the principal investigator or clinical team leader.
