About this award
The RACI introduced the Postgraduate Student Travel Award to assist Postgraduate Student Members of the Institute to travel professionally from their home institution to either present at a conference or carry out research work in a remote location.
The award consists of a certificate and an amount of $2,000 to assist the student to collaborate with a research group at another Australian university or to deliver a paper at a conference/meeting overseas. Proof of attendance at the conference or research facility must be provided on return. On completion of the event, the RACI would like successful applicants to produce a short article for the RACI website and to make themselves available to speak about their experience to science/chemistry students at a RACI Affiliate Member school in their state.
Candidates may apply or be nominated and are required to be Post Graduate Student members of the RACI for a minimum of 12 months and enrolled at an Australian University in a Chemistry-related degree.
Please provide in PDF format:
- A CV highlighting degrees, awards, any relevant- publications and include a short description of the expected outcome from attending.
- Any other activities or special circumstances or contributions to the RACI.
- Name, email and telephone contact information of academic advisor and a second referee.
After the closing date, no further nominations for the award shall be accepted.
If in the opinion of the Board there is no candidate who has sufficient merit, the Board may refrain from making an award. The decision of the Board is final and no discussions or correspondence will be entered into.
