1. In principle, IUNS welcomes external funding from all possible sources, provided that the funding arrangements are supportive of the objectives of the Union.
2. The funding source should not regard the funding exercise as an opportunity to use the name or reputation of the IUNS for promotional or commercial purposes. Whenever possible ethical issues should be guided by reference to internationally accepted codes of practice, such as those of WHO.
3. Funds may be accepted for support of various aspects of a particular meeting or project, but IUNS has responsibility over how the funds are utilized. For example, industry support would be acceptable only if it is non-designated, i.e., there would be no association, in the conference materials, between a given contribution and any specific symposium or any individual speaker or chairperson.
