Berlin, February 28th 2007 - CINF, the Division of Chemical Information of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the German chemistry information centre FIZ CHEMIE Berlin are inviting young scientists to apply for the "CINF-FIZ Scholarship for Scientific Excellence". The scholarship program of CINF, funded by FIZ CHEMIE Berlin, is designed to reward graduate and postdoctoral students in chemical information and related sciences for scientific excellence and to foster their involvement in CINF.
Three scholarships valued at $ 1,000 each will be given out at the 234th ACS National Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, August 19 - 23, 2007. Applicants have to be enrolled at a certified college or university. They have to present a poster during the Sci-Mix session at the National Meeting.
