The IFSCC (International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists) has opened invitations for a travel grant award to young scientists and students attending the 2023 Congress in Barcelona.
The award will cover round-trip coach/economy class travel to the host city, Congress registration fees and four nights at a hotel.
The 2023 Rainer Voegeli Travel Grant (RVTG), is open to students or young scientists less than 35 years old from the least developed countries, as listed by the UN’s Human Development Index.
The RVTG winner will present their work as a podium or poster presentation at the 2023 IFSCC Congress, which takes place on 4-7 September.
The winner will be chosen from applicants who have had an abstract accepted by the Scientific Committee of the IFSCC 2023 Congress.
The final decision on the award winner will be made by the board of the Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists, together with Rainer Voegeli.
The RVTG was introduced in 2017, funded initially with prize money won by Rainer Voegeli (pictured) at the IFSCC 2016 Congress.
This covered the 2017 and 2018 awards, with Rainer’s employer, DSM Nutritional Products, funding this grant into the future.
“We are encouraging people to share news of the grant as widely as possible as it is a great opportunity for somebody who might not normally consider submitting their work for an IFSCC Congress due to cost of attendance,” said the IFSCC.
