ISCB SC Annual Budget

Every year in the end of October/beginning of November, we submit a budget to Diane (the ISCB Executive Director).

It is important to have a thorough explanation of how the money is intended to be spent. It is also our custom to compare the budget to that of last and even the year before last.

In the annual budget we ask for

• running costs, which mainly will be covering transfer fees, or on the spot needed things at a symposium, that we cannot take from the symposium budget itself.
• Funding for RSGs: the RSG committee will be in charge of distributing this to the Regional Student Groups with the best event proposals, making sure to get the most out of the money.
• Travel Fellowships for ISCB SC Leaders: when a symposium is occurring, it can be crucial to have someone someone from the ET available to make sure everything runs smoothly and to make sure to interact with members which can help identifying upcoming ET members

We usually don't need funding for

• booths at ISMB as we arrange to get it complementary or we share with ISMB
• Subsidized registration at 100%ISCB conferences as we can usually get this complementary if we ask time in advance
