(Eva Osterman Lind) EMOP2016: SBSP has the honor of being the hosting society for EMOPXII in Turku, Finland, July 2016. The organizing committee calls for interested volunteers to contact the head organizer AnttiOksanen. (PikkaJokelainen & Brian Lassen) Travel grants given for students to attend SBSP-conferences by SBSP: the board recommends the given grants would be paid prior to the conference rather than as a reimbursement. (Brian Lassen) Benefits of honorary membership: the board recommends that honorary members will be allowed to attend SBSP conferences either free or at a lower (student) registration fee. The society will compensate the difference in registration costs. (Brian Lassen) Proposal of allowing company memberships of SBSP. (JakobSkov)

  11. SBSP GA Agenda 11th September 2013 Proposal of reforming the membership payment system. The board has discussed the following changes for approval to reduce management of memberships and making payment more flexible: Collecting SBSP finances to one account to reduce management expenses; online payment system integrated into website (eBay or PayPal) allowing easy payment for a small percentage of the transfer; possibility for members to choose to pay for 2 years, 4 years, 10 years, or a lifetime membership (cost?). (Brian Lassen) Changing of Lithuanian bank account name to „Scandinavian-Baltic Society for Parasitology“: The Lithuanian bank requires the members present at the GA to approve this change according to local legislation. If the previous point is accepted this point is likely no longer needed. (AstaKrižanauskienè) Suggestion for change in paragraph 3 of statues to include criteria for membership as: applied with interest in parasitology and paid fee; removing the acceptance requirement by the board. (PikkaJokelainen) Honorary members election: the board propose election of new honorary members of the society.
