<title>Conference Support</title>
</head>
<body>

<p>A 
            regular grant from the Philosophical Quarterly, enables the Club to 
            offer financial support to philosophy conferences and workshops organised 
            in Scotland.</p>
          <p>Applications 
            should be made to the <a href="officers.xml#secretary">Secretary</a>
            and should conform to the following conditions:</p>
<ul>                    <li> 
                      A 
                        budget should be submitted showing some other income, 
                        and some contribution from participants.
                    </li>
                    <li> 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.
                    </li>
                    <li> 
                 Normally, 
                        grants/guarantees will only be made to philosophy meetings/conferences 
                        being held in Scotland.
                    </li>
                    <li> 

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.
                    </li>
                    <li> 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.
                    </li>
                    <li> 
Decisions 
                        about what exceptions to make are made at the discretion 
                        of the Scots Philosophical Club Committee.
                    </li>
                  </ul><p>Grants 
            are made each year to the <a href="http://www.societies.stir.ac.uk/sppa/">Scottish 
            Postgraduate Philosophy Association</a> <a href="http://www.societies.stir.ac.uk/sppa/"><img alt="SPPA" src="images/sppa.png" width="40" height="16" /></a></p>
