Applicants are invited to apply for grants under a new Special Award Scheme from the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC) to support attendance of early-career scholars and independent scholars at the 12th International Conference on the History of Chemistry in Maastricht on 29 July to 2 August 2019. Awards of up to £500 will be made as a contribution towards the cost of travel, accommodation and registration fees for those giving a paper at the conference. Early-career scholars are defined as post-graduate students (both masters and doctoral students) and those who have obtained a PhD since January 2014.
Applicants must be members of the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry in good standing at the time of making an application and if successful through the period of the award. For more information and application forms please contact grants[AT]ambix.org stating that you are applying for a grant to attend ICHC.
Details of how to join the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry can be found at https://www.ambix.org/subscription/ . Membership enquiries should be made to newjoiner[AT]ambix.org
The deadline for applications is Sunday 7 April 2019. Please note this an earlier deadline than for the 2019 SHAC Award Scheme. It is expected that applicants will be advised of the outcome of their application in time to register for early-bird conference fees which are available until 1 May 2019.
An activity report must be submitted at the end of the conference. This will usually be published in SHAC’s Chemical Intelligence Newsletter.
Please note that applying for a Special ICHC12 Award does not preclude applying to the usual SHAC Award Scheme for 2019.
