Technical and Financial Sponsorship of conferences

 Technical sponsorship

TECHNICAL CO-SPONSORSHIP: Technical co-sponsorship indicates direct and substantial involvement by the Technical Co-Sponsor solely in the organization of the technical program portion of the Conference.

FINANCIAL LIABILITY: It is understood that financial liability for the Conference is the sole responsibility and obligation of the Financial Sponsoring Party. The Technical Co-Sponsor will not share in the surplus of the Conference or be expected to contribute to the financial loss, if any.

 Involves:

  • Publications in IEEE Trans Mag (details below)
  • Supervision of technical program by at least one senior member of IEEE Magnetic Society
  • Advertisement of the conference on IEEE websites
  • Sending conference Call for Papers to IEEE mail lists

Note: from Jan 2016 the following financial charges apply to all technically sponsored conferences (TSC):

  • A portion of the cost of TSC is allocated to the IEEE Organizational Unit (OU), i.e. Society, Council, Section, Chapter, etc., that technically Co-Sponsors the TSC and benefits from that Co-Sponsorship $1,000 plus $15 / paper sent to Xplore®
  • If multiple sponsoring OUs, charge is divided equally
  • Covers ~2/3 of the actual cost to IEEE. Remaining 1/3 is distributed to IEEE OUs via overhead. Currently, 100% of costs are distributed to the IEEE OUs via overhead.

Financial Sponsorship

Financial Sponsorship represents:

  • insurance against financial risk,
  • reduced cost to publish in IEEE Transactions on Magnetics (=1 page per article discount on publication costs)
  • ability to publicize using Magnetics Society mailing lists.
