Travel Awards for Young Scientists from Developing Countries
The Local Organizing Committee has a small number
of travel/participation awards available for young scientists from
developing countries and other countries, where it is difficult to
find support for participation and travel to meetings like ASLO 2000
(Third world, Baltic countries, Russia). It is expected that the successful
applicants can find some support from their home countries/institutions,
either for travel, registration or accommodation. Eligibility requires:
1) that the person is < 35 years and doing active research in hers/his
home country, 2) that an abstract for oral or poster presentation
is accepted by the committee (use the format for this meeting), and
3) the application includes a short verified curriculum vitae and
list of publications. A short application with abstract, CV, a budget,
and if possible verification of some self-financing should be mailed
to:
Professor Morten Søndergaard
Freshwater Biological Laboratory
University of Copenhagen
Helsingørsgade 51
DK-3400 Hillerød
Denmark
Deadline: Extended untill January 10, 2000
Students Travel Awards
The ASLO board has approved a limited number
of need-based student travel stipends to be awarded to students who
make oral or poster presentations at the meeting as a first author.
These special awards are available to full-time students currently
enrolled in any university or college who are not supported by a grant
or other source that could provide the necessary travel support. There
are no restrictions on the residence of an applicant; however, the
applicant must be a member of ASLO and first author on an oral or
poster presentation. The applicant cannot have received a travel award
previously. All applications must be accompanied by the Student Travel
Award Application.
