The ESF Scientific Network on Crystal Polymorphism is offering a number of Travel Grants to scientists wishing to initiate or to further develop a collaborative project related to the Network's objectives. The main aims of this network are to create a framework for a coordinated and unified study of polymorphism, to enable a formal means for the interdisciplinary study of polymorphism, to train a cadre of personnel fluent and knowledgeable in the theoretical methods and experimental techniques used to study polymorphism, and to develop European expertise in polymorphism research and the utilization and exploitation of polymorphism for commercial purposes. Grants are intended for short visits to initiate or strengthen links between different research groups to enable joint research projects to be prepared. Applications in the above areas are particularly welcome, however, initiatives concerning other aspects of Polymorphism will also be considered.
Grants are for travel and accommodation only.
Salaries and research costs will not be funded. Name, postal address, telephone, fax and email of the prospective host at the receiving institute Date and duration of the proposed visit. Short CV of applicant. An estimate of travel expenses from a certified travel agent and accommodation costs. However, please note that whilst the letter referred to in the last bullet may be emailed in advance, the original should be sent by post.
