Affiliation of Conferences to the RMA
The RMA Proceedings Committee welcomes proposals from conference organisers for the affiliation of their events to the RMA.
Benefits of Affiliation
The benefits of such affiliation include:
- free advertising of the event through the RMA website and Newsletter
- free, or reduced cost circulation of information through RMA mailings to members
- access to advice and support from RMA Officers and members of the Proceedings Committee
The aims and objectives of affiliated events should be consistent with those of the RMA. (Our mission statement can be found here.)
Financial Support
In addition, the Committee will consider applications for financial support. The funding available will normally be targeted towards proposals that show evidence of sound financial planning, of how effectively the RMA will be publicised, and of how RMA members will benefit directly (usually from exclusive registration discounts at least).
Conference affiliation grants will not normally exceed £500 (£300 for a one-day event/study day).
