Introduction

Welcome

The Å·ÃÀAV Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Dalton poster symposium provides an opportunity for talented young inorganic chemists (PhDs and postdocs) to present their work to the wider community and senior representatives from industry and academia. If you are a PhD student or a postdoctoral researcher working in inorganic chemistry then you can submit an abstract and take part in this exciting event.
 
Attending this event will help to make research connections for future collaboration, to raise your visibility and to engage with the wider topic area community. Poster presenters will have the opportunity to win significant prizes including bursaries to attend an international conference.

The Å·ÃÀAV Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Dalton Poster Symposium, funded by the Wilkinson Charitable Foundation and the Dalton Division, is free to attend for successful applicants, who will also receive support for their travel to the meeting.
 
The Å·ÃÀAV Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Dalton Poster Symposium is not to be missed. We look forward to welcoming you to London in September 2022.

Grants for carers

Grants for carers have been introduced following the Å·ÃÀAV 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 Å·ÃÀAV’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 Å·ÃÀAV membership (past or current).
