The Physiological Society
Founded in 1876, The Physiological Society is a learned society with approximately 2,500 Members (including 14 Nobel Laureates) and Affiliates (younger scientists) drawn from over 50 countries. The majority of Members are engaged in research, in universities or industry, into how the body works or in teaching of physiology. The Society's main aims are to promote the advancement of physiology and to facilitate communication, both between scientists and with other interested groups. To achieve these objectives, The Society supports 4-5 scientific meetings annually, organises International Workshops, publishes two journals and awards grants to allow Members to travel to scientific meetings and to carry out research collaborations. Interaction with outside bodies is encouraged through representation on various councils and committees, and active membership of the Biosciences Federation and the Federation of European Physiological Societies.
Structure of The Society
As detailed is its governance documents, the activities of The Society are overseen by an Executive Committee of seven members and a Council of 28 members Much of the development and implementation of The Society’s activities is devolved to a number of committees, each of which focus on a particular area of interest. The Society is supported by an Administrative Office in London and a Publications Office in Cambridge (with 10 employees in each office).
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee comprises a President, Chairman and Vice-Chairman, Treasurer, International Secretary, Meetings Secretary and Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Physiology (ex officio).
