Travel support available for early career scientists
Early career scientists conducting research or study in meteorology or an associated discipline at a centre of excellence outside their own countries can once again benefit from travel support afforded by the Rupert Ford Travel Award.
The generous fund was set up by Rupert’s family, friends and colleagues to honour the name of the late Dr Rupert Ford, whose brilliant scientific career was cut short by illness.
The RMetS has recently revised its definition of “early career” to enable a wider range of weather and climate researchers and professionals to access the Society's Early Careers resources and support.
