If so then you should apply to become a delegate at the IUPAC 2019 Next Generation Programme in Ghent, Belgium.

The 14th IUPAC International Congress of Crop Protection is being held in Ghent, Belgium from 19-24 May, 2019.

From among the Next Generation Agri-Summit applications we want to select up to five N-GAGE champions and provide seed funding (€5,000) to facilitate the startup of their innovation or project idea in crop protection. For one year (May 2019-May 2020), we will mentor these young innovators within their innovation/idea, linking them with seasoned researchers and practitioners and integrating them in other agricultural youth networks and organizations. Training on new ways to advocate and network using innovative communication tools will be provided.
Want to Apply?
It’s Simple…just one email. And its Complex…in the one email will need to condense everything to 1-2 pages in an application that is complete and compelling. Providing a couple of illustrations, videos and photos that represent your innovation or idea are also requested.
