The Challenger Society for Marine Science has an active programme of meetings and events that we support including the biennial Challenger conference that moves location around the UK and Special Interest Group meetings.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
These are one of the most important parts of the Society. Meetings are organised by the individual SIGs and offer an opportunity to meet with Society Members with similar interests.
Special Interest Groups are entitled to apply for up to £500 sponsorship from the Society per year to help cover costs associated with the event and increase participation, particularly of Early Career Researchers. In return, we ask that the Challenger Society is clearly acknowledged, that benefits of membership are shared with participants, and that an article is written for the Society’s magazine, Ocean Challenge. PPT slides and banners to help with promotion are available from the Society on request. To apply for financial support, please complete this form with details of your event and what the funds will be used for, and submit it to Cecilia Liszka.
