Sponsorship Opportunities

This year's conference, on the theme Life Course Transitions and Patterns: Stronger Evidence for Better Policies, offers opportunities to build relationships with professionals and experts from research, policy and practice across a range of disciplines.

In order to boost the success and impact of the conference, we invite you to sponsor for 2025. Pick from the six sponsorship packages below.

Please contact Cat Westlake if you would like to sponsor the event.

Sponsorship Code of Conduct

The Society seeks financial and other kinds of support only for work we believe will further our programme and which reflect our concerns. We do not undertake activities at the behest of others simply because they may provide a source of funding.The Society insists on the retention of complete editorial control over its work, and does not allow funders to decide the content either of publications or of conferences, seminars and other events. We will be happy to receive helpful suggestions, but the final editorial decisions always rest with us. 

 

Benefits Available to Funding Partners

The Society is pleased:

To put partners’ names and logos, prominently but not oversized, on publicity material along with that of the Society and other sponsors.

To thank funding partners verbally at the conference and on relevant literature.

​

Events Agreement

The SLLS plans to hold this conference in-person in Fribourg, Switzerland.

 

In the occurrence of cancellation by a speaker, we will do as much as possible to find a suitable replacement for any cancellation. However, we cannot be held responsible under the terms of an agreement with a funding partner for the non-appearance of a speaker where this was clearly not under its control. The Society also cannot take responsibility for the content or actions of any speaker at an event.

 

In the unlikely circumstances that the conference is cancelled due to occurrences beyond the control of the Society, the funding partner would be expected to share responsibility for any non-recoverable outlay that the Society has incurred. The funding partner’s name and/or logo will appear on all publicity with a lead of one of the following: ‘In association with’; ‘supported by’; or ‘media partner’; the Society cannot compromise its editorial control by allowing a funding partner to appear as a joint contributor in the organisation of any event.
