[TYPES/announce] Last call for student grants -- TABLEAUX/FroCoS/ITP

[Elaine Pimentel]

** Call for grants **

TABLEAUX/FroCoS/ITP
25-29 SEPTEMBER 2017 BRASILIA BRASIL

A limited number of travel grants is available for students
who would not otherwise have resources to attend TABLEAUX/FroCoS/ITP,
and whose attendance would benefit both the applicant and the event.
We expect to be able to help with local/travel expenses up to 250 EUR per
student. Applicants should note that grants are limited, and that costs in
excess of the grant will not be reimbursed.

Grants will be awarded based on the grant committee's assessment of
the applicant's genuine financial need, the potential benefit to the
applicant's education and research, and the potential benefit to
TABLEAUX/FroCoS/ITP.  Among those applicants who genuinely could not
attend TABLEAUX/FroCoS/ITP without a grant, the evaluating committee
gives priority to (co-)authors of accepted papers.

Although priority is given to students with active role in the
conferences/workshops, students in other situations are very much
encouraged to apply.

Applications should explain briefly (limited to 2000 characters)

* the current status of the applicant
* the kind of participation of the applicant in TABLEAUX/FroCoS/ITP
* a breakdown of the estimated amount needed

Applications should be sent by August 10th 2017 by email to Elaine
Pimentel (elaine.pimentel at gmail.com). Students should have their
supervisor sent a brief recommendation email (limited to 2000
characters) to the same address and by the same deadline. This letter
should describe the student's work, the benefit to that work of
attending the conference, and an assessment of the student's financial
need.

The award notification date is August 15th, 2017.

The grants will be presented at the conferences; in case a grantee does not
attend, the chairs may transfer the grant to another student or give no
award.

The grants are offered by Springer and by the organisation of the
conferences.
