Syngenta runs an annual Scholarship Scheme at their Jealott’s Hill site in the UK for organic chemists in the final year of their PhD.

Last year’s scholarship scheme consisted of a two day interactive workshop centred on synthetic chemistry and the design of new active ingredients. Syngenta is delighted to announce the 2013 Scholars, who were each awarded a scholarship of £1,000 as well as funding of up to £1,000 to attend a scientific conference of their choice. They are, from left to right in the picture, Alexander Murray, University of Bath (Supervisor: Dr David Carbery) and Edward Emmett, University of Oxford (Supervisor: Prof. Michael Willis).

Syngenta has more than 26,000 employees in over 90 countries dedicated to our purpose: bringing plant potential to life. R&D is central to Syngenta’s business; last year we invested $1 billion in R&D to develop new and improved methods of enhancing crop yield and quality. Jealott’s Hill International Research Centre, the largest agricultural research site in the UK, is one of five main R&D centres in our global network.

If you wish to join our efforts in promoting sustainable agriculture, or contribute to any other aspect of our business, please visit our global website at www.syngenta.com. Details of the 2014 scholarship scheme will be advertised this summer.
