Seeman Student Travel Awards

International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation and Engineering (ISNSCE) is excited to announce the open competition for the inaugural Seeman Student Travel Awards at DNA30.

The awards will be selective, with awardees chosen based on a combination of quality, novelty and importance of research, diversity of scientific areas, and connection to Nadrian C. Seeman’s vision broadly defined as “controlling matter with chemical information”.

To apply, submit a short paragraph (300 words max) explaining how your talk or poster, which must already be accepted for presentation at DNA30, relates to Seeman’s vision.

Awardees will receive up to $1,000 USD that may be used toward reimbursement of registration, airfare, or hotel expenses for attending DNA30, and will be invited to a special event at the conference.

Eligibility: We invite undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students from all backgrounds, disciplines, and countries to apply. The only requirement is that you must present a talk or poster at DNA30.

Please submit your application here by August 10, 2024.

Note: You may apply to both the NSF and the Seeman travel awards if you meet the eligibility requirements for both. However, if selected for the Seeman Student Travel Award, you will not be considered for the NSF Travel Award.
