IACT Junior Travel Awards
for Graduate Students
to attend the 2012 International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics (ICCT)
The Award
This travel award is offered to outstanding PhD students in the early part of their thesis/doctorate to allow them to attend the ICCT conference. The award is expected to be available every two years. Students at the end of their graduate studies (within the last year) are encouraged to apply for the Kehiaian travel awards, which are more generous. It is not permitted to apply for both the Kehiaian and Junior travel awards.
The award will be a financial contribution towards travel and subsistence to attend the ICCT conference, plus a waiver for conference registration fees.
