This annual award was established in 1996 by the British Carbon Group in memory of Brian Kelly, a leading authority on the physics of graphite.
Nominations for the 2011 award can now be submitted. The winner will be announced at the 2011 International Carbon meeting in China.
The award is intended as a travel grant for students and early career researchers with up to ten years postdoctoral experience to attend the annual World Carbon Conference. Anyone living or working, at the time of that conference, in the country where the conference is held is not eligible. As a consequence, applications will not be accepted from China on this occasion.
The award is made upon the basis of an appraisal of THREE documents: (1) the extended abstract or paper as submitted to the C2011 conference, (2) a short CV (with the date of the award of PhD if applicable) and (3) a commentary provided normally by the candidate's supervisor or close colleague. Self-nomination is not permitted. The Award Committee of the British Carbon Group will determine the successful applicant.
The closing date for applications for C2011 will strictly be 4pm BST 30th April 2011. No submissions after this date will be accepted.
Previous applicants are welcome to re-apply.
The award is currently five hundred pounds sterling (£500) and is presented at the time of the conference with a certificate. It is a condition of the award that the winner attends the conference and presents his or her paper either orally or as a poster.
Applications may be transferred electronically to the Chairman of The British Carbon Group, Dr Gareth Neighbour, at g.b.neighbour@hull.ac.uk or, exceptionally, mailed to him at the following address:
Dr Gareth Neighbour, Chairman, The British Carbon Group, Department of Engineering, University of Hull, Hull, HU6 7RX, United Kingdom.
