Horizons symposium: Electronic & energy materials

25 - 26 September 2023, Berlin, Germany


Introduction

Welcome

Join us for this exciting in person 2-day symposium hosted by Materials Horizons and Nanoscale Horizons.
 
The symposium will showcase a wide variety of cutting-edge work in the areas of electronic and photonic materials, and materials for energy applications, with chemists, physicists and materials scientists presenting their most outstanding work.
 
We warmly invite you to join us in Berlin in September 2023 and look forward to welcoming you to the discussion.

About the symposium

Leading researchers and emerging investigators from a broad range of backgrounds will come together to explore and celebrate the theme of the 2023 Horizons symposium: Electronic and energy materials.

In addition to the scientific programme of invited talks, the invited speakers will also be complemented by flash talks and poster sessions to provide further networking opportunities and discussion for all attendees. Finally, a ‘meet the editor’ panel discussion will provide an opportunity to hear from our journal editors on their tips and tricks for a successful submission. 

We hope the event will provide ample opportunities to network and engage with the speakers, members of the Materials Horizons and Nanoscale Horizons Editorial Board and other attendees. Join us for some exciting discussions and to share your ideas with key members of the materials and nanoscience community.

The invited speakers for this symposium will discuss research over a range of topics, including: 
  • Materials for optoelectronics and electronics
  • Materials for energy conversion
  • Functional devices
  • Interface engineering

Researcher Development and Travel Grants

If you are an RSC Member and you are one of the following
  • A PhD student;
  • An academic researcher within 10 years of completion of a PhD (including postdoctoral researchers);
  • Working in the industry within 10 years of leaving full-time education or;
  • A technician within 10 years of leaving full-time education.
You can apply for up to £500 to support your participation in this event.

Please note it is not necessary to have confirmation of abstract acceptance before applying for a Researcher Development and Travel Grant and we encourage you to apply as early as possible. This Grant is open for 11 months of the year – January to November.

Applicants must apply for activities occurring at least 2 months from the end of your application month. Please see the website for up-to-date information on eligibility, how to apply and submission deadlines.
 
Researcher Development and Travel Grants can be applied for in addition to Grants for Carers and Assistance Grants.

Grants for Carers

Grants for carers have been introduced following the Royal Society of Chemistry Breaking the barriers report where 78% of chemists working in UK academia felt that managing parenting and/or caring responsibilities has an impact on women’s retention and progression. This fund is not limited to women scientists and welcomes applications from anyone with caring responsibilities. These grants have been supported by The Royal Society of Chemistry’s Chemists’ Community Fund.

You can apply for up to a maximum of £1000/year to assist with additional financial costs that you incur for care usually provided by you whilst you attend a chemistry related meeting, conference or workshop or a professional development event.

Caring responsibilities are wide and varied, and so each application will be individually assessed, examples of applications that we will consider include:
  • paying for extra home help or nursing care for a dependent whilst you will not be present
  • additional medical/respite care for a dependent whilst you will not be present
  • travel expenses for a relative to travel with you to care for dependents whilst you attend a meeting or event
  • paying for extended hours with a care worker/childminder/play scheme to cover time when you will arrive home later than normal.
You are eligible to apply if: 
  • you are a chemist
  • you will incur additional caring expenses whilst attending a chemistry-related meeting, conference, event or workshop or a professional development event
  • you will use these funds to cover the cost of care that you usually provide 
  • you are based in the UK or Ireland or if not, you will normally have held three years RSC membership (past or current).
