Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry Awards Scheme 2014
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.
An
activity report needs to be submitted at the end of the Award. This will be
publicised in the Chemical
Intelligence newsletter.
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.
Opening date: 1 March 2014 Closing date for applications: 31 May 2014
