Guidance for Dept Seminar Chairs

Guidance for Department Seminar Chairs

You may be called upon to act as chair for an upcoming seminar.

As chair, could you please book a restaurant table for the meal, and write an email with details of the seminar and restaurant booking, inviting colleagues to attend. Please send this email to Riley Jackson (riley.jackson@sheffield.ac.uk) prior to the seminar so that it can be circulated to the department.

The department will pay for the speaker and the chair’s meal up to a total of £60.00. To make the claim please submit this claim as usual via the expenses system on cost centre 313027, providing all receipts. The exception here is if the speakers are Sheffield employees, in which case no expenses can be claimed for the meal.

The speakers’ travel and accommodation will be booked by Riley (riley.jackson@sheffield.ac.uk) who will be contacting the speakers directly.
