Grants and assistance
We have had many problems getting funding for grants and assistance. Most grants
which are offered will be paid from registration fees and other money received
and from offers of special accomodation.
- Very few full grants will be available and will be oversubscribed by a factor
of at least 5 and possibly nearer 10.
- We will offer as many assitances for attendence (partial grants) as is
humanly possible within our budget. Please, if you have asked for a grant,
try to obtain partial funding from other sources. We can obtain cheap or free
accomodation and will waive the registration fee for people with genuine need.
Our travel funds are though, unfortunately, strictly limited.
Help us to help as many people as possible by requesting only what you really
urgently need.
- As we still have several funding options available (we are still waiting to
hear from some grant applications) we will not decide on grants, except for a
few special cases which are already notified, until the end of June at earliest.
This is to allow the best chance of obtaining funding.
- We appreciate the problems that this may cause people, please try to be
patient, we are doing the best that we can in a difficult economic climate.
- If you have asked for a grant, but cannot be funded, please still submit your
contribution still so that it can be displayed as a poster and included in the
proceedings as a refereed paper.
