Young Chemists to the 40th IUPAC
Congress
The 40th IUPAC Congress will be held 14-19 August 2005
in Beijing, China, on the theme "Innovation in Chemistry."
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. For each program respectively,
about 30 and 20 awards of up to USD 1500 will be made available to qualified
candidates to cover some or all of their Congress registration fees
and/or some or all of their travel expenses.

Applications from candidates under age 40 are welcomed.
Applications may be submitted directly to the address below. 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
- an abstract of the poster or paper to be presented at the Congress
- estimates of the economy airfare to and from the Congress
The deadline for receipt of applications is 28 February
2005. Award of travel support will automatically include acceptance
of a candidate's abstract. As all abstracts are subject to adjudication,
those candidates whose applications for travel support are unsuccessful
could still have their abstracts accepted. All applicants will be notified
of the outcome by 15 March 2005.
Applications should be sent to:
