displays, thanks, in part, to his and Valery Kozhevnikov’s work.It is also an achievement that would not have been possiblewithout the ‘driving force’ of the Marie Curie grant behind it. Thisallowed Dr Kozhevnikov to set up his research in a stimulatingnew environment in a very good lab with the best equipment,resources and networking opportunities, providing him withlots of ideas that ‘actually then evolved into very good science’.All in all, this proved to be a scientifi cally rewarding and, asDr Kozhevnikov adds, ‘enjoyable’ experience, perhaps not leastbecause the fellowship enabled him to take his family along to theUK with him. ‘No other grant would have made it possible tomove with my family. But Marie Curie does have this instrumentto support family,’ he says, offering Fellows a chance to have anormal family life outside of the lab.Project acronymHeterolicsFull project titleNew heterocyclic liquid crystalsType of grantIncoming International FellowshipBudgetEUR 150 350Duration of project01-10-2005 - 30-09-2007Scientific disciplineChemistryHost institutionDepartment of ChemistryUniversity of YorkHeslingtonGB-York YO10 5DDTel. +44 1904 434085 // Fax +44 1904 432516E-mail: Professor Duncan Bruce: db519@york.ac.ukDr Valery Kozhevnikov: kozhevnikov1974@mail.ru35
