[Geochemistry.group] Geochemistry Group Bursaries

Dear Geochemists, A reminder that the Geochemistry Group offers funding opportunities for Ph.D students and ECRs to attend meetings. In addition, we are pleased to announce a new Technical Staff Meeting Attendance Bursary! (details below). We can also help support scientific meetings by funding keynotes and/or early career researchers attend your meeting. To apply for these opportunities, please visit our website https://geochemistry.group/funding-opportunities/<https://eur03.safelink…amp;reserved=0>. Details of our bursaries are below: Student and ECR Meeting Attendance Bursary We welcome applications from researchers registered at UK and Irish universities or research institutions to facilitate the presentation of their geochemistry-related research at a meeting hosted online, within the UK or internationally. The bursary is open to students regardless of funding situation, as well as to postdoctoral researchers without financial support for conference attendance. Funding for two types of expenses can be applied for through this bursary: (i) offsetting the cost of travel to conferences being attended in person (the Geochemistry Group encourages low-carbon travel modes but it is also possible to claim for carbon offsetting costs if flying is inevitable); (ii) contribution towards the costs of attending online conferences - abstract and registration fees. Full eligibility criteria are listed in the application form. The Geochemistry Group steering committee requires attendance at a previous Geochemistry Group Research in Progress meeting (GGRiP) in order to be eligible for a meeting-attendance bursary. Attendance at GGRiP can be both online or in-person. Moreover, applicants who have given a presentation (talk or poster) at a previous GGRiP will be given priority. The total amount that can be applied for is a maximum of £500 per person. There are three deadlines for Travel Bursaries each year: January 15th, May 15th, October 15th. Technical Staff Meeting Attendance Bursary We welcome applications from technical staff (laboratory technicians/managers, project officers, etc.), based at UK and Irish universities or research institutions and working in geochemistry laboratories (either on a short-term or on a permanent basis), to facilitate their attendance at meetings within the UK or internationally. Funding for the following types of expenses can be applied for through this bursary: (i) offsetting the cost of travel to, and accommodation at, conferences, workshops or training courses being attended in person (the Geochemistry Group encourages low-carbon travel modes but it is also possible to claim for carbon offsetting costs if flying is inevitable); (ii) contributions towards the cost of registration and abstract fees for both online and in-person professional meeting, or (iii) a combination of both. Full eligibility criteria are listed in the attached appendix. The maximum total amount that can be applied for is £500 per person. There is currently one round of applications per year, with a deadline of 15th May. Scientific Meeting Support Running a meeting with a geochemical theme? We can offer some financial support to help enable keynotes and/or early career researchers attend your meeting. There are three deadlines each year for the Scientific Meeting Support funding: January 15th, May 15th, October 15th. All the best George
