News Releases Scientists from Zimbabwe and India are Awarded BCPC Bursaries 9 November 2001 British Crop Production Council (BCPC)
bursaries have provided two overseas scientists with the opportunity
of attending this year's BCPC
Conference - Weeds 2001. Professor Ostin A Chivinge,
Executive Dean in the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of
Zimbabwe, Harare and Dr Kathiresan Kathir who is a Reader in
Agronomy in the Faculty of Agriculture at Annamalai University, Annamalai
Nagar, Tamilnadu, India, will be travelling to Brighton, for the event
which takes place 12 to 15 November 2001 Awarding bursaries to overseas scientists is one of the many contributions made by BCPC to support the science and practice of crop protection in the international arena. The bursaries allow delegates who, through lack of funds, would not otherwise be able to attend this important scientific event. Not only does the delegate benefit directly, but the information acquired can be passed on to colleagues back home and valuable links are also forged with fellow delegates from around the world. Those interested in being considered
for a BCPC bursary award in 2002 should contact the BCPC office for
an application form - BCPC, 7 Omni
