CNS 2017 Antwerp: Travel awards

A limited number of merit based travel awards, given based on review of summaries by the program committee, will be available to presenting students and postdocs who are OCNS members. Women and underrepresented minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications will be done through this website: the option is available as a service on the members' homepage.

3. must apply using a form on this site accessible to members only: student and postdoc members will find a link to the application form under their Services menu (right side of the homepage after login).

 The travel award application must contain the following information:

• Name of presenting author
• Paper ID (from ConfMaster abstract submission site)
• Supervisor of presenting author (note that only 2 students/post-docs per laboratory may apply)
• Institute, and country of presenting author
