Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry Awards Scheme 2013
Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry Awards
Scheme
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 A.M. Roos at anna.roos@history.ox.ac.uk
