IUPAP invites women to attend conferences
The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics [IUPAP] launched for the second year a grant programme to fund the attendance of women in conferences or schools.
Up to 14 grants between $700 and $800 are available. Only women physicists from Eastern Europe or developing countries may apply. Due to limited funding, those who have received a grant in the past, under this program, are not eligible for a second grant.
Applications for these grants should be received no later than 15 April 2013. Recipients will be chosen by the IUPAP Working Group on Women in Physics by mid-May, and will be notified during the first week of June 2013.
Those interested in applying for a grant should submit the following information, via e-mail as a WORD document only (no PDF file) or as text within the e-mail. If you attach files, please include your last name in all the file names.
1. Complete contact information including name, address, e-mail and phone number.
2. Years since your Ph.D (or undergraduate degree for graduate students) was granted.
3. Brief description of the conference or workshop you wish to attend (including date of conf., place to be held, & website if available) and if you will be making a presentation.
4. Brief statement of how attending the conference will enhance your career.
5. If you have attended any regional or international conferences, please list them.
6. A breakdown of the amount of money (maximum $700/800 US) required to attend (Ex: Airfare, registration fee, meals).
7. List your publications from the last 5 years.
8. One letter of recommendation.
Send all information to Jackie Beamon Kiene.
