The deadline of the application is March 15, 2019. We will notify the decision on awarding the grant through email before March 22, 2019.

Once get granted, the applicants need to register for the conference before March 31, 2019, the Early Bird Registration Deadline.

Please note that to apply for the financial support, applicants need to send an email with an attachment:

1. Faculties need to provide a CV (with references and an indication of the date of the PhD).
