Special Edition for the Chemistry Travel Award 2021:

Conference or Lab visit !

Due to the pandemic, many conferences have been cancelled, postponed or switch to an online event. The board of the PF Chemistry and the Swiss Chemical Society discussed together to offer the PhD students another option for the year 2021. Instead of having only the classic awards to go to an international conference, an additional option to visit a forign lab has been offered.
