The European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) is pleased to announce the EFCE Student Mobility Award 2015. The objective of the award is to promote mobility among European chemical engineering students. Launched in 2005, it is presented every two years to the best European students of chemical engineering who have spent one or more semesters studying abroad.
The EFCE Student Mobility Award 2015 will consist of three prizes: 1st Prize: € 2,000, 2nd Prize: € 1,500, 3rd Prize: € 1,000.
All students who are citizens of a European country in which EFCE is represented can apply for the EFCE Student Mobility Award if they have successfully studied for at least one semester (e30 European Credit Transfer Units - ECTU) in first or second cycle study programmes in chemical engineering in each of two or more different countries. The first place of study is the home university.
All documents should be submitted in English no later than 2 years after graduation. Please note that applications which do not contain English documents will not be considered. The deadline for submission of applications is 28 February 2015.

About chemical engineers
Chemical, biochemical and process engineering is the application of science, maths and economics to the process of turning raw materials into everyday products. Professional chemical engineers design, construct and manage process operations all over the world. Oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, synthetic fibres and clean drinking water are just some of the products where chemical engineering plays a central role.
About EFCE
Founded in 1953, The European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) is a non-profit-making association, whose object is to promote co-operation in Europe between non-profit-making professional scientific and technical societies in 30 countries for the general advancement of chemical engineering and as a means of furthering the development of chemical engineering.
