How to Nominate a Visiting Speaker

Step 1

Step 3 
Submit your nomination form to the Visiting Speaker Program (VSP) Coordinator.  
Please make sure you hold a current ASI membership.  You may submit your nomination at any time during the year, but please note they will be collated twice yearly on the advertised close dates.

Click here to submit your form.

Up to 4 speakers will be selected for a tour from the nominated individuals.  The speaker must visit at least 3 branches, or 2 branches if SA/NT, WA or NZ is visited, and must take up the offer within 1 year of approval. You can support your application by including names of laboratories from other branches who would be keen to host your speaker, however this is not essential. Please make sure that you have contacted the nominee and that they are willing to participate.

Please keep gender in mind when nominating speakers. Supporting women through the ASI VSP enhances the ability of both women and men immunologists to achieve their potential. Here are some great international databases full of magnificent women immunologists to invite: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Immunologie, European Federation of Immunological Societies and the American Association of Immunologists.

We particularly encourage nominations from our smaller ASI branches and also from Students and Early Career Stage ASI Members.
