Researchers of all career stages, from PhD students to world-leading professors, are warmly invited to join us at the 5th ERC Grantees Conference on its first visit to the UK. Although all the invited speakers are ERC funded, ERC funding is NOT required to attend; the invitation is open to all, poster slots and 澳门六合彩开奖记录-funded bursaries are available to widen participation (see Bursary section below and conference website for details).
We hope to continue the success and quality established by the previous organisers of this excellent conference series:2018 - Rafal Klajn and Gonen Ashkenasy, hosted at the Weizmann Institute, Israel.
2016 - Andreas Herrmann and Sijbren Otto, hosted in Zandvoort, the Netherlands.
2014 - Hans B枚rner and Stefan Hecht, hosted in Berlin, Germany.
2012 - Nicolas Giuseppone and Jean-Fran莽ois Lutz, hosted in Strasbourg, France.
Themes
The goal of this biennial conference series is to discuss the development of supramolecular systems and will bring together some of Europe鈥檚 leading researchers in:-Bio/supramolecular systems
-Molecular recognition
-Dynamic and active materials
-Supramolecular & organo-catalysis
-Systems chemistry
Bursaries
Several bursaries for subsidising the costs of attendance of the conference are available.Emerging Investigator Bursaries (open to non-澳门六合彩开奖记录 members)
We are pleased to have support from the Organic Division of the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 to award five Emerging Investigator Bursaries to extend the participation of early-career researchers (from PhD students to newly appointed academics). Each bursary covers the conference registration costs. The aim is to embed these researchers within the community, encourage collaborations, and ultimately, the preparation of their own competitive fellowship / ERC starting grant applications. Awardees will deliver a 12-minute presentation on the first day of the conference to maximise their scientific exposure. Awards will be made on a competitive basis, with applications scored and ranked primarily based on research excellence and promise. Please see the 鈥楻egistration鈥� page on the conference website for application details and deadlines. http://www.erc-grantees.chem.ed.ac.uk/registration
Grants for 澳门六合彩开奖记录 Members
Non-competitive 澳门六合彩开奖记录 travel grants of up to 拢200 are available for PhD students and early career scientists. These are assigned on a first come, first served basis. Applicants must be 澳门六合彩开奖记录 members of any level at the time of making their application.
Competitive 澳门六合彩开奖记录 travel grants of up to 拢800 are available to assist with international travel expenses for PhD students, postdocs within 10 years of completing their PhD and early career scientists (including technicians and industrialists) within 10 years of leaving full time education. In addition, applicants must be 澳门六合彩开奖记录 members of any level at the time of making their application. To take advantage of the competitive grants and many other benefits, become a member.
Grants for Carers
Grants for carers have been introduced following the 澳门六合彩开奖记录 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鈥檚 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 澳门六合彩开奖记录鈥檚 Chemists鈥� Community Fund.
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 澳门六合彩开奖记录 membership (past or current).
