IPIN Student Grants Program

The purpose of the program is to encourage PhD students participation at the conference by partially or fully funding the travel, accomodation and registration costs of students who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference.

CCG Grants

IPIN 2011 with the support of CCG is pleased to announce that they are offering several grants to PhD students to attend IPIN 2011 in Guimarães (Portugal).

Applications are accepted from students throughout the world. We strongly prefer to give grants to students who have interest in the area of indoor positioning and navigation, demonstrated by coursework and project experience. Paper and poster authors may apply, only if they find impossible to get other sources of funding.

The amount of support provided to each student is intended to cover the student's registration, travel and accomodation. It is not expected to exceed 600 euros for each grant, except for very special cases.

Those interested in the program, please send an email to Prof. Maria João Nicolau (joao@dsi.uminho.pt) having as subject "IPIN 2011 grant" and include the following information:

• Full name (surname in UPPER CASE);
• Affiliation;
• Full personal contact details including email address, telephone and fax number;
• Gender (male/female);
• If you are an IPIN 2011 conference paper/poster (co-)author;
• A ONE-PAGE letter of interest highlighting (1)the impossibility of getting (sufficient) other sources of funding, (2)a brief summary of research interests, and (3)why the conference attendance is important to the student.

In addition, the student's advisor should send a letter of recommendation to the same email address, indicating why the advisor believes the student would benefit from attending the conference and confirming that the student is a Ph.D. candidate in good standing.

Deadline to apply for grants is June 30, 2011.
