ORGANIZATION Grants are applied by the organizers of the conference through TCs and not by individuals. The conference organizers would be responsible for the organization of the scheme.

The confirmed grants should be paid upon actual conference registration at the conference venue. Grantees would be requested to sign a receipt for the received sum.

(Typical grant is about 1500 EUR to support two participants. Please note that grant is contribution or support and does not always cover full expenses).
