Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry Award Scheme 2013
The
Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry invites applications for its
award scheme for 2013. 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 £1000 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. Please note that awards do not have to be held in the UK.
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 Anna Marie Roos at anna.roos@history.ox.ac.uk.
