Dear TC6 members,
Here is the revised version of the proposal for TC6 student grants.
I've tried to take account of all received comments and discussions.
Any further comments?
Best regards,
Guy
IFIP TC6 Student Travel Grant Programme
Under the programme, students or young researchers from an IFIP member
country apply for travel and accomodation funding to make it possible for
them to attend a conference or workshop sponsored, in whole or in part, by
IFIP TC6 or its WGs. Young researchers are researchers at pre-doctoral
level and up to an age limit of 35 years old at the time of the conference.
A committee reviews their applications and awards grants to the students
who would not otherwise have the resources to attend a conference or
workshop, with benefits to both the student and the conference/workshop.
The number of grants and the per-grant maximum amount are established on a
case by case basis by the event organizer, depending on the total amount
allowed for all grants by IFIP TC6.
Grants cover travel and lodging expenses up to the per-grant maximum.
Students should note that the grant sizes are fixed, so that any costs in
excess of the grant will not be reimbursed. Furthermore, it is recommended
that the conference organizer should waive the conference registration fee.
Applications for grants will be evaluated by a committee consisting of the
responsible IFIP WG chair (or TC6 chair for events not sponsored by WGs)
and two others selected by the conference chair(s). Grants will be awarded
based on the evaluating committee's assessment of the student's genuine
financial need, the potential benefit to the student's education, research,
and career, and the potential benefit to the conference. Among those
students who genuinely could not attend the conference without a grant, the
evaluating committee should give priority to (co-)authors of accepted
papers to avoid "no shows". Students who present posters may also be
favoured. The committee may also decide to make only one award per
university.
The number of awards to be made is proposed by the conference chair(s) and
approved by the responsible IFIP WG chair. There is no requirement that a
conference or workshop make any awards under this programme, and the
evaluating committee may make awards for less than the maximum established
by the conference organizer.
To apply for a grant, students should send a letter to the Conference
chairperson explaining how they believe attending the conference will
benefit them. The letter should quote the lowest available airfare from the
student's location to the conference site, and the bank account details of
the student's institution for reimbursement. The student should also
indicate whether (s)he already benefited from an IFIP student travel grant
in the past. The application should include a letter from the student's
graduate advisor describing the student's work, the benefit to that work of
attending the conference, and a statement of financial need.
E-mail applications are encouraged. Applications are due 8 weeks before the
conference date. The committee decisions will be made 6 weeks before the
conference date.
If the student does in fact attend the conference, the conference organizer
will
either pay for or reimburse the student's institution for lodging expenses
for the duration of the conference, and will reimburse the travel cost to
the
student's institution, without exceeding the total amount of the
grant for all expenses.
The conference organizer will claim the total grant amount to IFIP using
the appropriate form.
The total amount allowed for all grants of an event will be decided on a
case by case basis by IFIP TC6 and will depend on the type of event
(flagship/working conference or workshop), the importance of IFIP
sponsorship (full/main/co sponsorship), and the size of the event.

Dear friends,
As you know, I have been working to set up a series of conferences on
networking in Latin America.
Finally I have succeeded and we have the agreement of SADIO, the
Argentinian society member of IFIP, for celebrating the conference in
Santa Fe (Argentina) in September 3-7, 2002.
Augusto has appointed me as Program Committee Chairman. In consequence I
have the obligation of building this committee and the first group to
which I ask for help is the TC6. So, formally, who is interested in
participating in this Program Committee? What is asked to the member of
the PC is, in addition to reviewing papers, to promoting the paper
submissions.
I am looking forward to know your answers.
Best regards in the beginning of the new millenium
Ramon
