A regular grant from the Philosophical Quarterly, enables the Club to offer financial support to philosophy conferences and workshops organised in Scotland. 

Applications should be made to the Secretary and should conform to the following conditions:

  • A budget should be submitted showing some other income, and some contribution from participants.
  • Normally, the SPC contribution will take the form of a guarantee against loss, though an outright grant may be made if some good reason is given for an outright grant.
  • Normally, grants/guarantees will only be made to philosophy meetings/conferences being held in Scotland.
  • Normally, events to be supported by the SPC will be open to all SPC members, though we are prepared to allow for some specialist 'invitation only' workshops.
  • Exceptions can be made where the conference is high quality and intellectually innovative, but for one reason or another is not likely to be able to access alternative sources of income.
  • Decisions about what exceptions to make are made at the discretion of the Scots Philosophical Club Committee.

 

Grants are made each year to the Scottish Postgraduate Philosophy Association
