When you are traveling to a conference to give a paper, poster pr workshop, I will do my best to support your travel.

Please refer to the Reimbursements page for details. I will only consider support if you follow what is outlined on the Reimbursements page.

General Notes for the best way top convince people to support you is to submit your requests which include:


1. Name of conference and some sense of how good it is.


2. Title of your paper and type (paper, poster, etc.)


3. Attach your letter of acceptance, along with anything they subsidize

(sometimes deep discounts on hotel, some times the entry fee is waived).

They usually waive conference fees if you CALL them and say you are a poor student.


THE EARLIER YOU APPLY THE BETTER!


The more people/institutions chip in, the greater your chances of covering the whole trip.

Include your other co-supervisor if you have one.

A formal application is more positively considered than if you have us guess or have to get back to you several times.

Plus, submitting it this way shows maturity and planning skills.
