EFSUMB BYLAW No 3 SELECTION OF EUROSON LECTURER
1)
At least 18 months prior to each EUROSON Congress each Member Society must be invited to put forward a written proposal for one or more suggested EUROSON Lecturer.
2)
Each nominee should be of international repute with innovative original work on which he/she can speak.
3)
The nominee does not need to be a member of a Society of the European Federation.
4)
The nominee should be requested to prepare a written paper on their lecture for publication in the Federation Newsletter.
5)
Proposals should be forwarded at least 3 (three) months before the Board meeting in the year preceding the relevant EUROSON Congress so that they can be circulated in time for discussion and voting at that Board meeting.
6)
All nominations must be discussed and voted upon at a meeting of the Board of Directors. The nominee receiving the most votes should be invited by the President to be the EUROSON lecturer. If he/she is unwilling to accept this invitation the nominee with the second highest number of votes should be approached.
7)
When possible, the President of the Organising Committee of the Host Society for the Congress should seek sponsorship for the lecturer’s accommodation, travel and other expenses. If a single sponsor is identified the EUROSON lecture should be dedicated to that sponsor.
8)
If sponsorship is not obtained the local organisers should be asked if they can share some part of the cost, e.g. accommodation, as an invited speaker, the balance being paid by the Federation.
9)
The Lecturer should claim any expenses in writing through the EFSUMB Secretariat.
