Mackenzie-Redfern Bursaries
In 2017, the Thermal Methods Group has established the Mackenzie-Redfern Bursaries in memory of Dr Robert Mackenzie and Dr John Redfern the Group’s founders. The purpose of the bursaries is to help early career scientists present a paper or poster at a Thermal Methods Group Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry Conference.
For 2018, the bursaries will be awarded to the three best entries for the 2018 Cyril Keattch Award and will consist of a prize of £150 and a certificate.
Criteria
- Candidates must be resident in the UK.
- Those wishing to apply should have normally worked for up to ten years at the post-graduate level and any periods of leave, (such as, but not limited to, maternity leave) should be documented.
Candidates should supply:
- A nomination letter from a senior colleague
- A full curriculum vitae
- A one page abstract of the paper that they intend to present at the conference
The submissions should be submitted in electronic format to the Thermal Methods Group Chair, Dr Glynn Van-de-Velde by 31 January 2018.
Process
The submissions will be reviewed by a sub-committee of the Thermal Methods Group committee.
The authors of the best three entries will be invited to give a 20 minute presentation (including questions) at the Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry 2018 Conference which will be held on the 27 - 28 March 2018 at Queens University, Belfast.
The winner of the Cyril Keattch competition will be announced at the Conference dinner.
