Did you know that SCI offers financial support to early career members who are planning to travel to a conference or site visit related to their studies?
This year's travel bursary applications (for travel between July and December 2014) were assessed by the Early Careers Support Sub Committee and we are pleased to announce that fifteen of the applicants have been awarded bursaries towards their attendance at a conference where they will be presenting either a poster or a paper.
The recipients come from a range of universities from different areas of the UK (plus one from Canada) and represent a range of scientific backgrounds. Two of the recipients will be attending conferences in the UK, both relating to food science. The other thirteen will be travelling across the globe with the majority heading to conferences in the USA and Canada, and some will be going as far afield as Asia, South Africa and Australia, so they will be guaranteed to meet an international audience.
Reflecting SCI's multidisciplinary background the conference themes are wide ranging and span different areas of science from horticulture to organometallic chemistry; from ceramics to computational chemistry. Please see the tables below for more information:

All of this year's winners (and applicants) are current SCI members, so why not congratulate them on their award and get in touch with them via the Members' Directory? (you will need to sign in to view).
We look forward to hearing how they got on and reading their post-conference reports, which will be published on the SCI website in the coming months.
Applications will open in August for those that want to claim assistance with the cost of travel between 1 January and 30 June 2015.
