PCCP 25th anniversary symposium

1 - 2 May 2024, Amsterdam, Netherlands


Phishing Warning
We are aware that some speakers and delegates have been approached by companies claiming to operate on behalf of the Royal Society of Chemistry to book their travel and accommodation for our conferences. Please note that whilst we do sometimes work with accommodation providers in order to facilitate hotel bookings, they would never approach you in the first instance. Details of accommodation providers that we are working with are in the ‘accommodation’ section of this webpage. If you are unsure about an e-mail / phone call you receive, please contact us and do not provide any credit card details or personal information.
Introduction

Introduction

Join us in Amsterdam for this exciting 2-day symposium, celebrating 25 years of Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP). Discover ground-breaking research across the breadth of physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. 

The programme will feature invited speakers across a broad range of topics, with speakers from our Editorial and Advisory Boards, as well as representation from the PCCP Owner Societies. 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 PCCP Editorial, Advisory and Ownership Boards and other attendees, as well as celebrating 25 years of the journal. Join us for some exciting discussions and to share your ideas with key members of the community.

Bursaries

Grants for Carers

Grants for carers have been introduced following the Royal Society of Chemistry 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 Royal Society of Chemistry’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).
