CCDG Travel Award

Chicago Chromatography Discussion Group

Travel Award Guidelines

 

Overview

The Chicago Chromatography Discussion Group is committed to promoting an interest in -and providing a forum for- the exchange of information in all areas of chromatography. Founded in 1961 by several pioneers in gas chromatography, CCDG was the first chromatography discussion group in the United States. Our motto, Sharing in Knowledge, has been the key to the accomplishments of the past and the challenges of the future.  As part of our philanthropy strategy, the group has established a travel award to a student using separation techniques in their undergraduate or graduate research to allow them to present their paper or poster at a major symposium.
