When you apply for a grant from SPPS, we compare your data to the membership list, to make sure that you are a member of SPPS, which is a prerequisite to apply for SPPS support.
We use your data to inform you about SPPS events such as the General Assembly to which we are obliged to call all members.
You have the option to also receive our newsletter with conference announcements, grant opportunities and other interesting information for plant scientists.
