Travel Bursaries

Students and PhD students who have difficulty raising funds to attend the XAFS16 conference are invited to apply for a travel bursary.

Postdocs may apply if their age is below 35 and their PhD degree is not older than 5 years, although preference may be given to students and PhD students.

How to apply?

In addition to the regular submission of an abstract, applications for travel bursaries should be addressed to the XAFS16 chairman and sent to secretary∂xafs16.org. Applications will be evaluated by an independent committee from the IXAS.

In their letter, applicants should briefly explain why they are applying for a bursary. Students and PhD students must provide evidence for their student status. Postdocs should provide a document stating the date of their doctoral examination.

Deadline for bursary application

April 15, 2015, 12 p.m.

Decisions

Before May 1, 2015, applicants will be informed if they are to receive a bursary and the amount of support awarded. This date still gives sufficient time before the early bird registration deadline on May 15, 2015.

Note from 21 May 2015 :

Travel bursaries are no longer available.
