Grants to attend IUPAC 2019 Congress in Paris
The Royal Society of Chemistry is offering grants for early career scientists to attend the next IUPAC World Chemistry Congress in Paris, from 5-12 July 2019.
2019 is a particularly special year to attend the IUPAC World Congress. Not only is IUPAC celebrating its centenary with a number of activities aimed at younger chemists, but 2019 has also been declared the UN International Year of the Periodic Table.
The 2019 Congress will feature special events throughout the week, encompassing a celebratory evening, organised by young scientists at the Maison de la Chimie, a gala dinner, and an official ceremony at the Sorbonne in the presence of prestigious scientists and guests.
There will also be a special session of the World Chemistry Leadership meeting, devoted to industry, with top industry representatives.
Establish international collaborations
Each grant offers up to £1,200 towards the cost of travel, registration and accommodation.
The scientific programme provides an excellent opportunity for early career scientists to present their work, establish international collaborations, and gain knowledge of global research activities.
