Abstract
The first two of the fellowships placed at the disposal of U.N.E.S.C.O. by the American Chemical Society have been awarded to men of science from Czechoslovakia. The successful candidates are Dr. Milos Hudlicky, assistant at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Prague, and Dr. Ivan Vavruch, assistant at the Research Institute of the Czechoslovak Sugar Institute, also in Prague. It is hoped that both the new fellows will be able to take up their appointments early in 1948. One of the fellowships offered by the Belgian Ministry of Education under the same U.N.E.S.C.O. scheme has been awarded to Mr. Charalambos Vacalopoulos, who is studying international relations in Brussels. The organisation of a programme of fellowships of this kind is one of the most important of the aims of U.N.E.S.C.O., as it is designed to make it possible for scientific workers, teachers and others from war-devastated countries who were cut off from the outside world during the War to be made acquainted with the most recent developments in the field of their specialization.
