Ottewill International Travel Scholarship 2020

When the UK Polymer Colloids Forum (UKPCF) closed, it assigned its residual funds for use in awarding the Ottewill International Travel Scholarship in honour of Professor Ronald Harry Ottewill OBE FRS (1927-2008).  The award (worth up to £1000) is designed to assist, each year, one outstanding UK-based graduate researcher (whose research relates to polymer colloids) in presenting their work at an international conference outside the UK.

Applications are called for the 2021 award of the scholarship.  The conditions of the award and an application form can be obtained from Craig Jones of Unilever (by email to craig.jones@unilever.com).  In short, applications must be received by 15 October 2020 and all applicants will be informed of the outcome by 30 November 2020.  The adjudicating committee comprises Brian Vincent (Bristol University), Peter Lovell (Manchester University) and Craig Jones (Unilever).
