Bursaries to attend IUPAC Congress and General Assembly in Brazil
The Royal Society of Chemistry is offering several bursaries for emerging career researchers to attend the next IUPAC World Chemistry Congress and General Assembly in São Paulo from 7-14 July 2017.
This is part of the ‘Young Observer’ program, which aims to introduce the work of IUPAC to a new generation of researchers.
Formed in 1919, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry represents chemists worldwide through work of the highest integrity and objectivity relating to the nomenclature, terminology, standards and data for all the chemistry sub-disciplines.
Through its project system, where more than a thousand expert chemists are elected by peers and engaged in task groups, IUPAC contributes strongly to key issues across the breadth of the chemical sciences.
Establish international collaborations
Each bursary offers up to £2,000 towards the cost of travel, registration and accommodation.
Successful applicants, typically early career researchers, will attend meetings of the IUPAC Divisions and Standing Committees to learn more about what the Union does and how they might become involved in its activities.
The programme provides an excellent opportunity for early career scientists to establish international collaborations, gain knowledge of global research activities and participate in the work of IUPAC.
The deadline for applications is Monday 28 November 2016. Applicants should be members of the Royal Society of Chemistry and resident in the UK or Ireland, and should include in their application:
- a covering letter, identifying the projects and divisions that are of interest to them
- confirmation of their current status and affiliation
- a brief CV and publication list
