SNF - Stiftelsen Nordisk Fysiologi
Do you know that you can apply for financial support for your meeting from Stiftelsen Nordisk Fysiologi (SNF)? SNF was established by the Scandinavian Physiological Society (SPS) in 1994/95, as a separate foundation aimed at supporting activities that will benefit the physiological sciences in the Nordic countries.

Applications for financial support should be sent to Secretary General prof. Bryndis Birnir at January 31^st 2011 the latest for arrangements from August 1^st 2011 to September 30^th 2012. Read more.
