About the Auspices

The UIP will give permission to use the official logo for courses, symposia or meetings that receive the auspices of the UIP. Meeting organisers may request recognition from and granting of auspices by the UIP under the following conditions:

• The meeting is organised or endorsed by one of the following;
  
  • UIP-affiliated societies in Tier 2/3 countries
  • UIP-affiliated societies in Tier 1 countries
  • Non-UIP-affiliated, not-for-profit societies / organisations
  • For-profit, non-industry societies / organisations
• The program is judged to have sufficient educational or scientific merit on veins and/or lymphatics to warrant the granting of UIP auspices.
• The required fees are paid per the table below.

Application

The organisers of events will be required to send the request for auspices to the Executive Director of the UIP (execdirector@uipmail.org). The application must be in writing (in English) and must be accompanied by an English translation of the Scientific Program. The Executive Director will forward the application to the General Secretary, the Chair of the Science Committee, the Chair of the Education Committee, the Chair of Congresses and Events and the Vice-President(s) for the region for review and approval. 

Fees

There is no charge for the Auspices of the UIP for events conducted by its member societies. However, events conducted by member societies with the aim specifically promoting for-profit or non-UIP affiliated societies or companies will attract a fee. Once approved, the Treasurer will invoice the organiser for any required fees. Auspices will not be granted until fees are paid in full.

Granting of Auspices

Once approved, the meeting organisers will be sent a letter granting the Auspices and outlining the relative conditions for the Auspices.

Congress organisers will be permitted to:

• Display the UIP logo on their congress website, electronic communications and in
  congress printed material along with the term “Under the Auspices of the UIP”, or
  equivalent translation. The logo must be displayed in accordance with UIP policies and
  procedures.

The UIP will:

• Display information on the meeting in the Events Calendar of the UIP website
• Publish a one page advertisement in the UIP Newsletter in the lead up to the event, provided the advertisement is provided in sufficient quality to allow its publication and is provided in a timely manner to match the publication schedule of the newsletter
