Our Sponsored Seminar Series Grant assist with the costs associated with hosting a seminar series within your institution. 

The intended lectures must help us with our goal of promoting the future of molecular biosciences; facilitating the sharing of expertise, supporting the advancement of biochemistry and molecular biology, and raising awareness of their importance in addressing societal grand challenges.  

The grant is intended to help with the travel costs for guest speakers at a series of seminars or lectures throughout the year. The grant can also be used to assist with catering costs should any refreshments be provided with the lectures or seminars.  

Grants of £500, £750, £1000 or £1500 will be awarded to successful applicants.
