Sir Eric Rideal Travel Bursaries

The Sir Eric Rideal Travel Bursaries are a joint bursary between the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Society of Chemical Industry.  It provides funds for attendance at a conference in the field of colloid and surface science.

Sir Eric Rideal (1890-1974) was the founding Chair of the RSC Colloid and Interface Science Group.

The Rideal Trust annually offers financial assistance to promising academic research workers in the general field of colloid and surface science to attend conferences and/or to visit relevant research institutions. 

Awards of up to £500 will be made on a competitive basis to assist with travel and/or subsistence and/or conference registration fees.  There are two closing dates for applications each year: 28 February (for travel planned between 1 July and 31 December) and 31 October (for travel planned between 1 January and 30 June)
