Information on the Conference Student Grant and the Support Applications
ECS 2015 Conference Student Grants
Student Grant Application Deadline: 10th November 2014
Who’s supported?
The ECS offers limited financial support to students that are the first author of an accepted talk or poster. The precise amount granted will depend upon the number of students subsidized and the amount of money available. Limited funds are available to provide grants towards travel or subsistence costs for students. If you are earning a salary you are not eligible. The grants are intended for cases of real hardship. Please think carefully before applying for a grant.
