STAR travel grants 2008 The STAR board is pleased to announce that STAR will be able to offer grants to support conference and/or workshop attendance at our STAR conference in 2008 in London. This year we are offering a total of three grants. The purpose of these grants is to encourage talented researchers and graduate students who don't have access to funding to attend the STAR conference and/or workshops. We hope that this experience will encourage them to be more involved in the Society in the future.
GRANT DESCRIPTION For the upcoming 2008 conference the following grants will be offered:
a. STAR Conference: 2 grants for graduate students and young researchers. Each grant is for 300 Euro toward conference registration and travel. b. Workshop participants: 1 grant for graduate students who plan to attend the Workshop and who are STAR (student) members. This grant is for 350 Euros toward workshop registration and travel.
GRANT APPLICATION All grant applicants need to be full members or student members of STAR. To apply for the grant, please submit the following application materials to Petra Buchwald (DEADLINE is 30. November 2007):
1. Curriculum Vitae.
2. For the graduate student grants, proof of student status, such as copy of student ID.
3. Abstract of your paper or poster that you will be submitting for STAR conference.
4. An official statement from your employer or supervisor that no funding is being provided from your University or Institution and confirming your financial need.
