Applications are judged three times during the year with

The date of the event for which the bursary is being requested
must be between six weeks and 12 months after the appropriate
application closing date. (Applications submitted between
1 January and 30 April 2006 should ideally be for travel beginning
in the period 15 June 2006 to 30 April 2007).
Leverhulme travel bursaries are available to those who wish
to attend a science meeting, but who need additional funds
to make it possible. To qualify, students must be carrying
out postgraduate research at an institution within the Liverpool
Section’s area (Cumbria, Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire
and North Wales).
The bursaries help with the costs of travel, subsistence
and registration fees and are intended to supplement the applicant’s
own contribution or funds from other sources. Applicants must
normally be presenting either a poster or a paper at the meeting
they are proposing to attend. Deadlines for applications are
1 June and 1 December. Richardson travel awards from the SCI
Messel Fund are offered annually on the recommendation of
the Process Engineering Group to candidates working in the
general field of research and development in process engineering,
process chemistry and related topics for attendance at a conference
and/or visiting a relevant institution in 2006. Applications
are invited for awards from candidates who will be under 35
years of age on 1 January 2006.
These awards are intended to help with the costs of travel,
subsistence and registration fees and are intended to supplement
the applicant’s own contribution or funds from other
sources.
The amount to be awarded to any applicant will not exceed
£250. The closing date for applications is 31 December
2005.
