Anatomical Society Meetings Committee
Aim
The Meetings Committee aims to ensure that we organise and participate in a range of meetings that are appealing to our own membership and a wider, more specialist audience. We aim to make our meetings cost-neutral and to take advantage of online technology and learnings from our recent virtual meetings.
Action Plan
1 To ensure meetings are well attended and of interest to members covering both anatomy research and education2 To ensure that meetings run efficiently and to budget (cost neural for society)
3 To increase and diversify attendance and involvement at meetings, with a focus on EDI
4 To produce topical and timely special issues from the meetings to enhance the Journal Anatomy
5 To forge links with other professional, biomedical and anatomical societies through joint meetings in the UK and internationally.
6 To diversify with virtual events to increase involvement of overseas members and those who cannot attend in person
7 To increase the visibility of our meetings through social media engagement before, during, and after scientific meetings.
