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 conferences, symposia, or workshops on the "frontiers of science". Conferences that are part of an IUPAC series may be considered under this program if they demonstrate significant focus on new ideas in chemistry or if they focus on a novel interaction of chemistry with a new domain. The meeting must be located in a country represented in IUPAC by a National Adhering Organization.

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 initiating programs coordinated by IUPAC Divisions or Committees, or by supporting local initiatives.

Application Procedure
Application must come from, or be endorsed by, the Division President or Standing Committee Chairman. However, IUPAC welcomes suggestions from the worldwide chemistry community for topics and sites of conferences or for participation by IUPAC Lecturers. Suggestions should be directed to the relevant Division or Committee Officer.

The completed form, including the endorsement, should be submitted to the Secretariat for processing at least 12 months before the Conference. An evaluation/review cycle will be initiated twice a year. The review process should be completed in four to six weeks.

To enter the next review cycle, completed applications must be submitted by 1 September 2008.
