ENEA Endorsements

ENEA has in place criteria and operational procedures which ensures that the support we provides is proportionate and appropriate.

The criteria below will help you determine whether your document (e.g. policy, statement, guideline), project (e.g. audit or research) or event (e.g. professional conference or meeting, training course) is suitable to be considered for endorsement and gives details of the procedure which we will follow to grant that endorsement.

Requests for endorsement will in the first instance be referred to one of our Committees – normally the Clinical, Science, Education or Publications Committee and subsequently to the Executive Committee if necessary.

Please note: ENEA will only endorse meetings, projects or documents developed by non-commercial organisations where the scientific programme/content is completely independent from commercial influence.

General criteria

Requests for endorsement will only be considered if the following initial criteria are met:

1. The proposed document, project or event will fit within the ENEA’s aims, policies, strategies and values (read more here).
2. The proposed document, project or event will meet a need that can be clearly identified and will not conflict with any ENEA document, project or event.
3. Members of ENEA and the general public will likely perceive the proposed document, project or event to confer an adequate level of public benefit.
4. The document, project or event is not likely to generate complaints or criticisms against ENEA; endorsement may still be awarded if the Society judges the particular cause worthy of such criticism or complaint.
5. ENEA will in general only consider requests to endorse specific initiatives; organisations as a whole are not usually endorsed.
6. ENEA will only endorse meetings developed by non-commercial organisations where the scientific programme is completely independent from commercial influence.
7. ENEA must have been approached early enough for it to have had input into the project or event. Bear in mind that the Society’s committees convene only two or three times a year and advice regarding timelines should be obtained from the ENEA Office. However, requests for endorsement may be secured post hoc at the Society’s discretion.
8. The applying organisation has read the ENEA Equality, Diversion and Inclusion Policy found on the ENEA website here, and where possible will implement a similar policy for the subject of the endorsement application.
