IUVSTA–Elsevier Student Travel Awards
We are pleased to announce the IUVSTA–Elsevier Student Travel Awards, supported by Elsevier B.V. in partnership with the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications (IUVSTA).
The scheme is designed to help excellent postgraduate research students (PhD) to attend IUVSTA Elsevier conferences at which they are presenting an oral contribution. The leading motive is supporting students reporting excellent work and do not have sufficient funding to attend the conference.
