Student bursaries for APD-IV

As posted to the Rietveld mailing list

Dear all

Just a follow-up on the recent announcement for the Accuracy in Powder Diffraction meeting to be held at NIST - Gaithersburg, MD, USA from 22nd to the 25th April 2013 - http://www.nist.gov/mml/apdiv_conference_2013.cfm

Through the support of the Executive Committee of the IUCr, we have received some funds to be used for assisting students to attend the meeting. The APD-IV secretariat is able to provide partial funding for travel and subsistence for bona-fide students.

To be eligible for this support, applicants must meet the following criteria:

1. Be a young scientist - i.e. a graduate or post-graduate student, or a Post-Doctoral Fellow.
2. Have a maximum age of 30 (exceptionally 35).
3. Be able to obtain proof of status by obtaining a signed letter from the Head of Department (or equivalent).
4. Submit an abstract for a poster to APD-IV
   1. Send the abstract to [email protected] and [email protected]
   2. Put "STUDENT - APD-IV abstract" in the subject line of the email (otherwise we may overlook it)
   3. The abstract must be received by 11th March 2013.
   4. The abstract must be accompanied by the proof of status letter in 3. above.

Please note - Recipients of a young scientist grant are required to create an entry in the World Database of Crystallographers (if not already present).  Go to http://wdc.iucr.org and follow the link to "Create a new entry", filling in your professional details as fully as possible.
