Dear all,
I have been asked about conditions for DCSC funding.
Please find below the most important criteria (a more elaborate
version is found on the IFIP web pages www.ifip.or.at).
Best regards

----------------------------
Experience shows that DC participants do not have the means to take part in
key ICT meetings and conferences mainly due to lack of travel support. Such
meetings usually outline the state-of the-art and the future development in
the field and benefit specialists who can afford the cost of travel and
participation. In order to give an chance to ICT specialists from
developing countries IFIP proposes this grant scheme to enable DC
professionals to take part in IFIP events held in industrially developed
countries and to assist and promote participation of key lecturers in IFIP
events in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Central and Eastern Europe.
The key objectives of this project are to assist the participation of
specialists and institutions from less advantaged countries in
international ICT events, initiatives and projects by providing travel
grants for IFIP conferences and supporting IFIP lecturers in developing
countries [the lecturers' local living costs should be expected by the
recipient organization]. Grant recipients and lecturers would be requested
to deliver reports after the event describing their participation and
experience and possible implications of the conference themes to research
and applications in the country and region.
All applications need to be submitted by the respective national GA
representative or TC Chair to the DCSC Chair, Dipak Khakhar
<dipak.khakhar(a)ics.lu.se>.
ONLY applications submitted by GA representatives
and TC Chairs as focal points of this scheme would be considered.
A maximum of 3 applications per country or per Technical Committee could
be considered.
The maximum amount allocated for a single application should not exceed
1,000 EURO for participation within a given region and 1,500 EURO for
participation involving travel to another region.
The grants are intended to assist travel and living expenses and conference
registration fees. Eligible for this scheme are societies and individuals
from developing and Central and Eastern European Countries.
All applications need to contain the following information:
1. Applicant Society or TC and priority of application from 1 to 3.
2. For what purpose is the grant requested: [i.e. which IFIP conference]
3. Additional contribution from Society (additional financial support),
Technical Committee (TC Fund) and event organizer (such as waiving of
conference fee).
4. Beneficiary; name and address of individual or organization who would
directly benefit from the grant
5. Expected result (what benefits are expected from eventual participation)
6. Bank account (with complete bank details to which the sum, if approved,
should be transferred).
A one page report including financial statement and supporting receipts
should be submitted after the event.
Dear colleagues from TC6,
this is to inform you that after a longer discussion with steering
committee members from TC8 and TC11, the I3E2005 was finally given to
Poznan, Poland. (We had another proposal from Turku, Finland).
The problem with WITASI was solved so that WITASI was shifted to 2006 -
where it, of course, would be again in competition with I3E2006 but not in
the same country.
We will now try to get the main organisational steps started and have a
preliminary CfP for Toulouse ready.
Best regards, Volker Tschammer
