ACM SIGBED is happy to announce the availability of travel grants for students to attend ESWEEK. Full text of the announcement and the application form are available on SIGBED web site: http://sigbed.blogspot.com/p/travel-grants.html

Travel grants are given at a preset amount which may vary from year to year (but no greater than $500), and can be used to partially cover conference registration and/or hotel accommodation. The selection will be done based on both needs and merit.

Who is eligible?

Students who are co-authors on a paper accepted by any of the conferences at ESWEEK and are SIGBED members can apply. In return, we ask travel grant recipients to help promote SIGBED at the conference, and to write a blog (at the SIGBED blog site) about his/her experience on attending the conference.

Send applications to Oleg Sokolsky (sokolsky@cis.upenn.edu). We also require a short support letter from your advisor sent directly to Oleg Sokolsky.

The submission deadline is September 4, 2015. Both the application and the support letter must be received by this date. No extensions will be given. We will notify the recipients before September 8, 2015, the early registration deadline of ESWEEK.

The selection will be done based on both needs and merit.
