The European Crystallographic Association Scholarship Fund
The ECA is aware of the general economic climate and that this might be presenting hardship to crystallographic colleagues at all stages of their careers causing difficulty to attend an ECM. Thus we launch this call for donations from those that can help other colleagues to attend the ECMs by contributing to their costs.
Please contact the ECA Treasurer ([email protected]) to submit your donations; typical donations might be approximately 100 Euros.
Applications for support from this Fund will be considered once per year, deadline 31st March of that year of the ECM. A one page statement of need and a 1 page summary cv should be sent to the ECA Secretary ([email protected] ).
Guidelines:
Awards will not be for more than 50% of the estimated total costs of economy travel, economy accommodation and ECM registration fee.
Receipts for expenses will be required.
Not more than one award will be made to a person in a ten year period. Persons under the age of 35 years are to apply to the ECM Bursary Fund, not this Scholarship Fund.
For any one ECM there should not be more than one application per Laboratory.
An ECA Scholarship Fund awardee must have been an ECA Individual Member for at least 3 years at the date of the ECM for which the scholarship is requested, and be registered in the IUCr World Directory of Crystallographers at the date of application.
A Sub-Committee of the ECA Executive Committee will decide the selection of the Awardees.
Reimbursement payments will be made to the awardees by the ECA Treasurer at the ECM i.e. upon attendance of the awardee at the relevant ECM. Exceptions to this can be considered on appeal to the ECA Secretary i.e. to request an advance payment.
