This annual award was established in 1996 in memory of Brian Kelly, a leading authority on graphite physics.
The award is intended as a travel grant for students or young researchers under the age of 35 to attend the annual international 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 the US on this occasion.
The award is made upon the basis of an appraisal of the extended abstract or paper submitted to the conference organisers, together with a short CV and commentary provided normally by the candidate's supervisor or close colleague. However, self-nomination is permitted. A committee of British Carbon Group officers will choose the successful applicant.
The closing date for applications for C2007 will be 22nd April 2007.
The award is (currently) one thousand dollars ($1000) and is presented at the time of the conference. 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, Prof. Malcolm Heggie, at m.i.heggie@sussex.ac.uk or mailed to him at the following address:
