Dear all,
please find enclosed the report of Dipak Khakhar for IFIP GA concerning the DCSC (Developing Countries Support Committee) grant situation.
It contains the grants which have been given in 2004 and those which will be given in 2005.
In 2005, TC6 will receive grants for Middleware 2005 and for MWCN 2005 (in both cases 1.500 EURO).
Thanks for the good news!
Furthermore there is a description of a "voucher scheme" which gives information about how to apply for grants and for which purpose the grants may be given.
For Middleware, these 1500 EUR will be used to support part of the costs of 2 young researchers from IFIP developing countries attending the conference.
While reading the Voucher Scheme below, I was wondering how this scheme could be practically applied in this case. Note that the 2 researchers will only be know (selected) e.g. 2 months before the event. If their National Society has to be involved in the process in order to benefit from an additional suppport under this voucher scheme, this seems unpractical. Probably what is missing in this document is the application procedure (a list of actions) a candidate should follow to benefit from it. It's not even clear to me who has to launch/handle the process: The student? The National Society? The conference organizer? ...
Best regards, Guy
Best regards Otto
