The Environment, Sustainability & Energy Early Career Prize is awarded for outstanding contributions made by an early career scientist in the area of environment, sustainability and energy.
The Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (CNC-IUPAC) established a program of travel awards in 1982 to enable young scientists who are currently working at a Canadian institution to present their work at IUPAC-sponsored conferences. Preference will be given to nominees who are attending an IUPAC sponsored conference outside of Canada. Applicants should be within 10 years of having obtained their PhD.
Research in green chemistry and associated areas in biochemistry, geochemistry, biotechnology, ecology and healthcare give young scientists ample opportunity to demonstrate their inventiveness and provide important input to sustainable development. With this in mind, the Green Chemistry for Life project was launched in 2013 by UNESCO’s International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP) and PhosAgro, the largest producer of phosphate-based fertilizer in Europe, in close cooperation with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
Purpose:
The Nina McClelland Memorial Awards sponsor the participation of postdoctoral scholars from both U.S. and international institutions to attend the annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference and present their work in a talk or poster.
Description:
This award provides a post-doctoral fellow/associate or faculty in first 9 months of appointment who plans to launch an independent research career in academia, funds to support a post-doctoral associate/fellow for two years once their new research group is launched.
