IFIP TC6 Student Travel Grant Programme
Under the IFIP TC6 Student Travel Grant Programme, students or young researchers from an IFIP member country may apply for partial funding to assist them towards paying their travel and accommodation costs when attending the 6th Latin America Networking Conference 2011.
Young researchers are researchers who have not yet completed their studies up to, and including a doctoral degree. Such persons would normally not be older than 35 years on the 1st October 2011. An Awards Committee reviews the application and awards a grant where the applicant would not otherwise have the resources to attend a conference or workshop, with benefits to both the student and the symposium.
