The Institute of Computational Chemistry and Catalysis (IQCC) of the University of Girona (UdG) is a worldwide reference unit in computational chemistry and catalysis that aims at carrying out groundbreaking research on predictive chemistry for catalysis, with special focus on the processes occurring at the confined space for the coming years. One of the pillars is Education, in view of which the IQCC is publishing a call for six scholarships for UdG students.
Below you will find a list of research lines by the PIs of the IQCC, who have presented their research at the 2024 edition of the IQCC Science Slam. Once you have made your choice(s), indicate your preferences on [the following webform]. The general rules of this call can be found in the following document (in Catalan): reglament. In principle the six scholarships will be given to three scholarships for third year UdG students (scholarship of 1 month) and three scholarships for fourth year UdG students (scholarship of 2 months).[2] It is expected that each research group of the IQCC (DIMOCAT, QBIS-CAT, TCBioSys) will have one third year student, and one fourth year student. All details on how to apply (including the deadline), and which documents to present,[1] are given in the Call which is published at the UdG Announcements Board [3].
Aqui trobareu una llista de línies de recerca dels IPs de l’IQCC, que van presentar la seva recerca al 2023 Science Slam de l’IQCC. Quan heu fet les vostres preferències, marca-les al [següent formulari] . El reglament general d’aquesta convocatoria trobareu en aquest document: reglament. En principi les sis beques aniran destinades a 3 beques per estudiants UdG de tercer any de grau (beca de 1 mes), i 3 beques per estudiants de quart any de grau (beca de 2 mesos).[2] Està previst que cada grup de recerca de l’IQCC tingui un/-a estudiant de tercer any, i un/-a de quart any. Tots detalls de la convocatoria (amb la data final per entregar els documents), i quins documents per presentar,[1] estan posats a la Convocatoria que està publicat al Tauler d’annuncis de la UdG [3].
