Call for Networking Events

Are you looking to connect with fellow biophysicists? Do you have an idea for a networking event? The Biophysical Society can help! BPS is calling for Networking Events to be held in 2023. BPS will support both virtual and in-person local Networking Events—the format will be up to you! Past events have included career panels, trivia nights, and programs of short talks from different institutions. The goal is to bring biophysicists together in an interesting way.

Benefits of Hosting a Virtual BPS Networking Event: • BPS will provide the Zoom virtual platform for the meeting and monitoring assistance on the day of the meeting, if it is held between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM USA Eastern Time • BPS will help you advertise the meeting (social media, emails, BPS Bulletin , etc.) • You can attract attendees from all over the world to get together on one topic!

Benefits of Hosting an In-Person BPS Networking Event: • BPS will reimburse you up to $500 for the costs associated with hosting the meeting • BPS will help you advertise the meeting (social media, emails, BPS Bulletin , etc.) • You can meet and exchange ideas with others at your institution and neighboring communities!

All current Society members are eligible to apply. BPS will be accepting networking event proposals for events occurring in August 2023 and beyond. The networking event submission site will be open March 15–April 30, 2023 . Applicants will be notified of the results in June.
