A detailed program will be uploaded soon on http://www.timely-cost.eu/activities/training-schools.
A limited number of students will be admitted to the Training School and will be funded for up to 500 euros (travel, subsistence, and accommodation; must keep all receipts). Funding can only be provided for students who attend for the whole duration of the training school and present a poster during the student poster session. The posters can either focus on already conducted work or on planned work. Accommodation for students (shared rooms) can be arranged by the organizers.
Prospective participants should be at advanced Master, PhD or Post-Doc level and should be from a COST country (http://www.cost.eu/about_cost/cost_countries; Non COST participants are welcome to apply for participation but will not be eligible for the grant). Those interested please submit the following documents to argiro.vatakis@gmail.com:
• Curriculum vitae (in PDF)
• Statement of purpose (max 1 page; in PDF)
• Title and Abstract of the poster that will be presented in the student poster session (in WORD; Structure: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract)
• Whether you prefer hotel reservations or arrange for lodging yourself.
The deadline for applications is October 28th, 2012. On November 1st, 2012, we will inform those students who will be funded.
