The Royal Society invites proposals for its scientific meetings. This supports the organisation of scientific meetings in any field. There are three types of meetings:

•discussion meetings, held at the Royal Society, London, or a suitable alternative UK venue, for audiences of up to 300 covering interdisciplinary subject areas;

•Theo Murphy international scientific meetings, held at the Royal Society at Chicheley hall for audiences of up to 80, allowing for more focused meetings and workshops;

•science+ meetings, to be held at the Royal Society, London, bringing together pure science and an element formed form areas that build on, or function alongside science, such as policy or public health.

Meetings are organised by leaders in the field, using their expertise to ensure key topics are covered. The focus on discussion throughout the meeting should allow everyone, at any stage of their scientific career, to get involved in the conversation.

Any UK scientist, mathematician or engineer may propose a meeting. One of the organisers must be either a UK national, but not necessarily currently residing in the UK, or a UK-based scientist of any nationality.

Meetings last for two days. Successful applicants receive logistical support, materials for the meeting and full onsite support throughout, contributions to travel and expenses for organisers, speakers and chairs, as well as a venue, facilities and catering.
