Scholarship program of the GDCh Division of Analytical Chemistry

1. Conference grants for selected events

Active participation in selected events (e.g. ANAKON, analytica conference, European Chemistry Congress) is particularly encouraged by the Division of Analytical Chemistry by awarding individually advertised scholarships.

2. General Conference Grants

3. ABC publication grant

The Division of Analytical Chemistry and its members benefit both professionally and financially from the success of the journal Analytical & Bioanalytical Chemistry (ABC).

Young scientists (m/f/d) in analytical chemistry can apply for a scholarship for a stay of at least one month at a research institution abroad. Conversely, the scholarship can also be awarded to young scientists who are working abroad and are planning a stay of at least one month in an analytical working group in Germany.

The aim of the publication grant is to support the completion of a joint publication by the participating research institutions, which must be submitted to the journal ABC for publication no later than six months after the end of the stay. The grantee must be the first author.

500 euros per month, but a maximum of 1000 euros, are granted for the stay in the host institution. If the manuscript is accepted by ABC, a further 1500 euros will be paid after publication.

The application is made by e-mail to Dr. Carina S. Kniep (GDCh Office) enclosing the following documents (summarized in one pdf document):

 

• application form,
• Curriculum vitae, current position with scope,
• Brief description of the research work planned in the host institution and the preparatory work that has already been carried out, which is to be rounded off, completed or expanded during the guest stay (it must be plausibly explained that it is realistic to submit the manuscript no later than six months after the end of the stay),
• Abstract of the planned publication with a provisional title and expected co-authors,
• for doctoral students: a brief supporting statement from the group leader,
• a brief supporting statement from the host.

Before the grant is approved, the Division Board submits the description of the research content and the abstract to an ABC editor for a professional opinion and assessment of the fit with ABC (see "Aims and Scope"). The ABC editor informs the Division Board of his assessment. The Division Board then decides on the award of the scholarship. All submissions will be treated confidentially.

With the approval of the scholarship, the scholarship recipient undertakes to submit the manuscript to the journal ABC as first author no later than six months after its completion.

The manuscript is submitted via the regular submission system of the journal. Please address the cover letter to Prof. Dr. Günter Gauglitz and include the following sentence: "This submission was supported by the Division of Analytical Chemistry of the German Chemical Society via a scholarship for finalizing a publication in a cooperation project."

The GDCh Office ( Dr. Carina S. Kniep ) must be informed that the manuscript has been submitted and the publication (Link/DOI) has been published.

Excursions

The Board of the Division supports group excursions as part of the analytical training at universities and technical colleges with a grant of a maximum of 250 euros. The excursions must have a clear reference to analytics.

As the organizer of the excursion, please send your informal applications together with a brief description of the content to the GDCh Office ( M aike Fries ). After approval by the Board of the Division of the analytical chemistry Section , we require the following documents:

 

• Brief description of the project
• Cost overview and proof with original receipts
• Address of the recipient of the funds
• Bank details

The amount will be paid after the required documents have been submitted.

The excursion should then be briefly presented in the Mitteilungsblatt of the Division .
