The EASP supports a number of meetings per year that are organised by EASP members.

Criteria

The Executive Committee uses the following criteria to decide whether or not to support EASP meetings:

A Priori Criteria:

1. Timing: There should be sufficient time before the meetings for their existence to be advertised to the membership through the Bulletin. This allows members to submit abstracts, apply for travel funding, etc.
2. Applicant Status: The applicant must be an EASP member.
3. Membership Involvement: At least 50% of the EASP members should be involved.

Criteria for Evaluation:

1. Scientific Excellence: Quality of the written proposal.
2. Attractiveness for EASP Members: The breadth and relevance of the topics covered.
3. Accessibility:
   o Planning: Timing and location should maximize accessibility for all members.
   o Budget: The budget should allow members from less affluent nations or younger scholars to attend.
4. Justification of the Requested Budget: The budget request should be well-justified.
5. Diversity: Diversity among speakers in terms of gender, nationality, and age.
6. Additional Priorities:
   o Priority will be given to scholars who have not received a grant in the past.
   o The proposal should not be part of a continuing series.

Application

General Requirements

Each application should specify:

1. The topic of the proposed meeting, together with a brief account of why this represents a suitable topic for such a meeting and a justification of sufficient interest from EASP members for this topic;
2. the precise dates and location of the proposed meeting;
3. a detailed budget, including both the costs involved in the meeting and other sources of income apart from the Association. There should also be an indication of how much participants would have to pay for registration, accommodation, and food. Budgets should not include travel expenses. EASP members attending the meeting may apply for travel EASP grants;
4. a draft announcement of the meeting, ready for publication on the EASP Website (and Twitter), in the next EASP Bulletin and for distribution through EASP mailserve.

The meeting application form and budget calculation sheet can be downloaded below.

Deadline

Applications can be made to host meetings in either the first or second half of the calendar year. For meetings that are intended to be held in the first half of the year, applications should be made by March 15th in the preceding year. For meetings that are intended to be held in the second half of the year, applications should be made by September 15th in the preceding year. These deadlines faciliate the association's financial planning and give adequate time to publicise the meetings. 

After successful application

Successful applicants will be asked to provide a formal announcement for publication on the EASP website and inclusion in next the EASP Bulletin (EBSP). Organisers will receive 50% of the support in advance. Within one month after the meeting, organisers are required to provide one or more photos (1280 x 720 pixels or higher) from the meeting, a brief scientific report, the abstracts of the meeting, an overview of the participants, and a financial statement accounting for expenditure. The remaining 50% of the support will be paid to the organisers if the reports prove that the organisers have in fact met all the conditions for support as laid down in the EASP rules.
