SalonsLaunched in 2016, the RNA Salon program provides financial support for recurring local/regional RNA science-based activities held at academic institutions throughout the world. With the aim of promoting engagement and interaction among RNA scientists, the RNA SOCIETY hopes to advance the training and professional development of RNA researchers, with a particular focus on junior trainees. In 2023/2024, the RNA Salon continued to grow with 58 funded RNA Salons that offered diverse formats of programming including in-person, hybrid, and online events. There are now RNA Salons in North America, Europe, South America, Australia, Asia and Africa. A complete list of all current RNA Salons and organizers can be found here. A Summary of 2023/2024 RNA Salon activities was presented to the RNA SOCIETY Board in June 2024. The RNA SOCIETY is now inviting applications for RNA Salons in 2024/2025 with the possibility for outstanding applicants to secure two-year funding. Applications must be submitted by August 31, 2024 using a web-based application form. To learn more about how to qualify for support from the RNA SOCIETY for your RNA-related events, please see the ‘Guidelines for RNA Salon Support 2024’. We hope that you all have an opportunity to join an RNA Salon event, and to connect with your colleagues and peers who are equally enthusiastic about RNA as you are!
