The trustees occasionally organise international symposia, which are primarily for leaders in defined areas of the two sciences supported and also, on a regular basis, smaller meetings which they term "mini-symposia".

The normal format of mini-symposia is for some ten leading scientists in a particular field to be invited to meet with twenty or so younger researchers (under the age of 30) for 2 ¹/₂ days for talks and discussions. 

In an informal atmosphere, all participants are required to give a presentation on their work or plans and generally there are no published proceedings.  It is hoped that by creating such a forum the younger scientists will be encouraged to explore and develop their skills and make contacts that will help them push forward the frontiers of their science.
