Student grants

The EUSFLAT Student Grant Program

EUSFLAT is reshaping its student support into an attractive and transparent Student Grant Program. At each EUSFLAT conference (odd years) 10 Student Grants will be awarded. Other selected events (summer schools, etc.) organized by EUSFLAT may offer Student Grants as well. In intermediate years (even years) two selected events will award 5 Student Grants each. Each student can receive at most two Student Grants in his/her career. Terms and conditions are explained below.

The biannual EUSFLAT Conference

At each EUSFLAT conference (2005, 2007, etc.) 10 Student Grants will be awarded. A Student Grant holder is exempted from paying the student registration fee. Depending upon local availability, low-cost student accommodation might be provided as well.

Eligibility criteria are:

• The candidate must be co-author and presenter of an accepted paper. Application for a student grant can only be done at the time of submitting, as will be clearly indicated in the call for papers. In case of multiple student authors, only one can apply for a grant.
• The candidate must be EUSFLAT student member (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) at the time of application.
• The candidate has not received two student grants before.

The Student Grant responsible on the EUSFLAT board makes an autonomous selection among the candidates. Additional criteria will be: referee reports on the paper, time since previous grant, fair distribution among institutes and countries, EUSFLAT membership of supervisor(s), etc. No communication on this matter is possible. The EUSFLAT web page will keep a record of past grant holders in order to guarantee transparency. The grant holders will be announced prior to the early registration deadline.

The EUSFLAT Society Travel Grant Program offers a limited number of travel grants to assist EUSFLAT Student Members presenting papers at EUSFLAT sponsored conferences.

For more information please, see the EUSFLAT Student Grant Program Online webpage (link to http://www.eusflat.org/members/grants.htm).

The application deadline is: 25 April 2005

Complete applications must be sent electronically at the time of submitting the paper to the Conference Secretariat.
