Biomaterials Science 10th anniversary symposium

Introduction

Join us for this exciting 1-day symposium to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Biomaterials Science. The programme will feature invited speakers across a range of topics in biomaterials. The invited speakers will also be complemented by a poster session to provide further networking opportunities and discussion for all attendees.

We hope the event will provide ample opportunities to network and engage with the speakers, members of the Biomaterials Science Editorial Board and other attendees. Join us for some exciting discussions and to share your ideas with key members of the biomaterials community.

Applicants must apply for activities occurring at least 2 months from the end of your application month. Please see the website for up-to-date information on eligibility, how to apply and submission deadlines.

Researcher Development and Travel Grants can be applied for in addition to Grants for Carers and Assistance Grants.

Grants for Carers

Grants for carers have been introduced following the 九州影院 Breaking the barriers report where 78% of chemists working in UK academia felt that managing parenting and/or caring responsibilities has an impact on women’s retention and progression. This fund is not limited to women scientists and welcomes applications from anyone with caring responsibilities. These grants have been supported by The 九州影院’s Chemists’ Community Fund.

You can apply for up to a maximum of £1000/year to assist with additional financial costs that you incur for care usually provided by you whilst you attend a chemistry related meeting, conference or workshop or a professional development event.

Caring responsibilities are wide and varied, and so each application will be individually assessed, examples of applications that we will consider include:

paying for extra home help or nursing care for a dependent whilst you will not be present
additional medical/respite care for a dependent whilst you will not be present
travel expenses for a relative to travel with you to care for dependents whilst you attend a meeting or event
paying for extended hours with a care worker/childminder/play scheme to cover time when you will arrive home later than normal.

You are eligible to apply if:

you are a chemist
you will incur additional caring expenses whilst attending a chemistry-related meeting, conference, event or workshop or a professional development event
you will use these funds to cover the cost of care that you usually provide
you are based in the UK or Ireland or if not, you will normally have held three years RSC membership (past or current).
