THE GEOFFREY PHILLIPS ANALYTICAL SCIENCE AWARD
Attention all researchersAre you a PhD student, post-Doctoral Fellow or young scientist currently carrying out research on an innovative application of pharmaceutical analytical science?
If so, would you like the opportunity to win a prestigious award with a bursary of up to £1000 to attend a conference relevant to your area of interest?
Each year, the JPAG awards the Geoffrey Phillips Analytical Science Award. This year's Award will be made to the presenter of the best short paper in pharmaceutical analysis at the JPAG Pharmaceutical analysis research awards virtual event in November of each year.
To be eligible the presenter should have equivalent of less than ten years post-graduate experience.
The terms and conditions of the Award can be found here.Submission of abstracts for 2025.
Details will be announced.
Pharmaceutical Analysis Research Awards and Careers Symposium 2024 It has been another very successful year for the Pharmaceutical Analysis Research Awards and Careers Symposium which was held on Tuesday. 12th November 2024 at the Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House. Over100 delegates attended the meeting and heard two highly inspirational keynote lectures by
