Could the Rainer Voegeli Travel Grant help you get to the 2025 IFSCC Congress in Cannes, France?
Are you or do you know anybody who might be eligible for the 2025 Rainer Voegeli Travel Grant (RVTG)? You need to be a scientist aged under 35 and a national of, and living in, one of the Least Developed Countries as listed by the UN’s Human Development Index (HDI)
Applicants also need to have had an abstract accepted by the Cannes Congress Scientific Board. The extended abstract deadline for the 2025 Congress is Monday 27 January so you need to move fast if you haven't already submitted an abstract. Follow submission details at ifscc2025.com/en/abstract/abstracts
The winner will present their work as a Poster at the 2025 IFSCC Congress in Cannes, France and the award will cover round-trip coach/economy class travel to Cannes, Congress registration fees and four nights at a hotel.
• Membership of an IFSCC Member Society is not a requirement.
To apply send a CV, a copy of your passport (or other national ID document) and a copy of the accepted abstract to the SWISS SCC (Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists) at rvtgrant@swissscc.ch
The subject line should read ‘2025 Travel Grant submission’.
The final decision on the award winner will be made by the board of the Swiss Society of Cosmetic Chemists, together with Rainer Voegeli.
• While you may not be eligible yourself perhaps you know, or know of others who would qualify, so please share this information with them as soon as possible.
