Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry - Award Scheme 2010
The Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry would like to invite
applications for its award scheme for 2010. Two types of award are
available: support for research into the history of chemistry or history of
alchemy by New Scholars and support for Subject Development of either
history of chemistry or history of alchemy.
The New Scholars Award is open to post-graduate students (both masters and
doctoral students) and those who have obtained a PhD within five years of 1
January of the year in which the application is made. Awards of up to £500
will be made to cover research expenses, including travel, accommodation,
subsistence, the reproduction of documents, and library fees. Applications
may also include the costs of reproducing images for publication. The
scheme will not fund the purchase of equipment or course fees.
In addition, post-graduate students only may apply for the costs of travel
to conferences and accommodation, but only in order to give a paper. The
scheme will not pay conference registration fees.
Subject Development awards of up to £1000 will be made to support activities
including, but not limited to, seminars, workshops, colloquia, lecture
series, conference sessions, conferences, exhibitions and outreach
activities that support either the history of chemistry or history of
alchemy as academic subjects.
Only members of the Society, both those in the UK and those overseas, may
apply. Members must be in good standing at the time of making an
application, and, if successful, throughout the period of an award. For
more information, and an application form, please contact the Hon Secretary
to the Society, Dr Georgette Taylor, at g.taylor@ucl.ac.uk Membership
