Financial
Support for Conferences
In general, IUPAC sponsorship of a conference or symposium
attests to its quality but does not carry financial support. However,
Divisions and Standing Committees of IUPAC may apply for financial
support via two programs for Conferences:
- New Directions in Chemistry
- Scientifically Emerging Regions
IUPAC modest financial support -of the order of USD
4000 per conference- is to promote the specific participation of international
expert lecturers or of young scientists and advanced students from
that region or to realize the specific participation of IUPAC Lecturers.
Conferences
on New Directions in Chemistry
This IUPAC program provides modest financial support on a competitive
basis, to Divisions and Standing Committees that wish to support or
organize a symposia or workshops on the "frontiers
of science" within the framework of a Conference. For example, symposia or workshops could (i) explore the contribution/application of chemistry into a new field, (ii) explore the contribution/application of a new field to the core topic of a conference, or (iii) consider new interdisciplinary areas of research involving chemistry.
The support will be directed towards designated symposium lecturer(s) and to the attendance of young scientists. The meeting must be located in a country represented in IUPAC by a National Adhering Organization. Conferences that are part of an IUPAC series may be considered under this program if the symposium/workshop has significant focus on new frontiers in chemistry or it focuses on a novel interaction of chemistry with a new domain.
Conferences
in Scientifically Emerging Regions
This IUPAC program provides modest financial support on a competitive
basis, to Divisions and Standing Committees that wish to support or
organize conferences that are located in scientifically emerging
regions. The intent is to impact on scientifically emerging regions
where a priori IUPAC has currently few activities, by supporting local initiatives or those coordinated by IUPAC Divisions or Committees.
