Objectives
The EFC Young Scientist Grant (formerly EUROCORR Young Scientist Grant) is an award founded and presented by the EFC since 2016. Its objective is to stimulate interaction and collaboration within the international corrosion community, by providing financial support to junior corrosionists to enable them to visit and interact with other corrosionists at their home institute abroad and to discuss research issues of mutual concern relevant to the field. A special EFC Young Scientist Grant Selection Committee makes the grant selection on the basis of brief proposals submitted. It will be presented at the yearly EUROCORR Conference.
Eligibility
To enter the competition, two applicants submit a proposal, focused on the research area or issue they want to discuss bilaterally at the home institute of one of the partners, using the Application Form.
The main applicant should not be older than 30 years on the 1st of September of the year the award is granted, is a participant to the EUROCORR taking place the year when the award is granted, and submits an abstract to this EUROCORR.
The co-applicant must be a member of an EFC Member Society and should preferably be a participant to the EUROCORR taking place the year when the award is granted.
