Student Travel Awards for 2011

Students at all levels (including recent PhD recipients) planning on presenting a contributed oral paper or a poster at the WOS annual meeting are invited to apply for a travel award from the Society. These awards will be both need- and merit-based, and are intended to encourage student participation by defraying part of the cost of attending the meeting.

Because the 2011 conference is a joint meeting (with AFO and COS), all award aplications will be handled through the travel awards page on the conference web site, rather than through direct communication with the WOS Travel Awards Committee.

Application deadline: 1 December

Note: Students applying for travel awards must still register for the meeting and submit a regular (shorter!) abstract for the scientific program by 15 January 2011.

Please consult the conference web site about details of these processes, which are separate from the travel award review. The Travel Awards Committee aims to inform students of the result of their applications by 7 January 2011, prior to the early registration and abstract submission deadlines.
