To encourage young chemists to participate in this unique congress,
the organizers have established two different programs, both offering
travel assistance. The first program is especially targeted to young
scientists from developing and economically disadvantaged countries;
the second is open to chemists from any country. About 50 awards will
be made available to qualified candidates as a contribution toward their
registration and travel costs.
Applications from candidates under age 40 are welcomed. Scientists
from academia, government or industry may submit applications directly
to the address below. Award winners will be expected to submit an abstract
of a poster or paper to be presented at the Congress. These abstracts
will be subject to adjudication as will all other submissions for presentation
at the meeting.
There is no specific application form, but applicants
are required to provide:
- a letter of application
- a brief CV
- a confirmation of their current status and affiliation
- a publication list
- a letter of support from the appropriate department head, dean,
or laboratory supervisor
Estimates of the economy airfare to and from the Congress
should also be provided.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 28
February 2007.
(deadline extended from Jan 31 to Feb
28 - update Jan 24)
Applications should be sent to:
Prof. Roberto Gobetto
Dept. of IFM Chemistry

Note:
This opportunity for young chemists to participate in the 41st Congress
is independent of the Young Observers program which is coordinated by
the USA, UK, and IUPAC Secretariat. For more details, see <www.iupac.org/general/Young-Observer>
