3. SHAC Awards

Deadline : 31 May 2014. The deadline for the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry's 2014 award scheme for members is soon approaching. Two types of award are available: support for research into the history of chemistry or history of alchemy by New Scholars and support for Subject Development of either history of chemistry or history of alchemy. Please do pass this notice on to your students or colleagues if you think they might be interested in applying. There is still time left to join SHAC and apply for the awards. Student membership costs just £22 a year and full membership is £35. This includes four hard copy issues of Ambix a year, plus the Supplement Sources of Alchemy and Chemistry, and online access to all past issues of Ambix.

The New Scholars Award is open to post-graduate students (both masters and doctoral students) and those who have obtained a PhD within five years of 1 January of the year in which the application is made.

Awards of up to £1000 will be made to cover research expenses, including travel, accommodation, subsistence, the reproduction of documents, and library fees. Applications may also include the costs of reproducing images for publication. The scheme will not fund the

purchase of equipment or course fees.

In addition, post-graduate students only may apply for the costs of travel to conferences and accommodation, but only in order to give a paper. The scheme will not pay conference registration fees.

Only members of the Society, both those in the UK and those overseas, may apply. Members must be in good standing at the time of making an application, and, if successful, throughout the period of an award. For more information, and an application form, please contact the Hon. Secretary, Dr Simon Werrett, s.werrett AT ucl.ac.uk
