STUDENT BURSARIES

APPLICATION FOR STUDENT BURSARIES IS CLOSED NOW!

The organizers are currently involved in raising funds to be redistributed as attendance bursaries to young scientists (age limit of 35 applies), especially those coming from the less favoured regions (especially Middle Eastern Europe and Africa). It is a policy of ECA to convey significant amounts of money to this purpose. In this respect, no reimbursements and honoraries of any sort are paid to the invited speakers and chairs of the Microsymposia.

The first requirement for obtaining a bursary is the submission of a regular abstract. The application form must be submitted by e-mail to the Organizing Secretariat not later than February 15, 2006 and should be accompanied by the following documents:

• Curriculum Vitae with list of publications
• A headed paper letter from the Research Supervisor who certifies the student status of the applicant and whether the student has access to any source of funds to attend the meeting

The support of organizers, if granted, will include one or more of the following benefits (in a priority order):
1. Waiving of the registration fee
2. Accommodation in student dormitory
3. Lump sum to cover part of the travel expenses (only in exceptional cases)
In no case, funds will be anticipated to the applicant by the organizers.

Notification of the successful applications is expected from April 1, 2006 on.
