Sponsorship for Pharmacology/Toxicology Seminars

ASCEPT offers sponsorship for departmental seminar series. Once there are eligible 5 members within an institution, the institute may apply for $500+GST for use in their seminar program. The seminars must have the ASCEPT logo appear at the start and end of the seminar, by using a PowerPoint slide provided by the Secretariat and have membership brochures provided available on the day. Up to 10 members from each institute may apply with a maximum of $1000+GST available. Members may be student or full members, but their fees must have been paid by March 31 in the year of application.

ASCEPT will advertise the seminar programs on the ASCEPT website/e-news. The Institute should nominate a contact person. Please click here and complete the form. Applictions close June 30 of each year.
