Funding for students
EMMS wish to encourage students in the area to become members of IOM3, to attend our meetings and take a broad interest in materials. We have therefore been able to allocate a limited fund to sponsor a number of students in the area to become members of IOM3 and also attend conferences.
This applies to full-time students (including postgraduates) attending universities and other tertiary educational institutions in the area.
Contact the secretary Dave Evetts or approach any member of the committee at one of our events for further details.
Terms and conditions
IOM3 Fees: EMMS will sponsor fees for up to 10 undergraduate and 10 graduate memberships to attendees at each student evening. If you are already a member, we will refund your fee on production of a receipt. We will also sponsor students who attend at least two meetings in the season (excluding the social event).
Conferences: Students shall have attended at least two EMMS meetings in the last 12 months and have entered their name on the attendance sheet. This will be verified. Students shall be members of the Institiute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. Students shall present a paper or poster at the conference. A maximum of two conferences per student per year will be sponsored. Preference will be given to IOM3 events.
Funding will be a maximum of £250 per student, and will be part funding. The student will also be expected to obtain funding elsewhere.
The student may be required to give a short presentation to an EMMS meeting after the conference.
Attendance at Meetings: We will pay car expenses at 20p/mile for any student to travel off-campus to one of our meetings (excluding social events) provided at least one other student travels in the same car and attend the meeting.
Please note that the Society has only limited funding for all of the above, and we may have to close this offer if demand exceeds the available funding.
