Travel Awards for Students Presenting at ADCS 2015

The Conference is offering travel support to students coming to ADCS2015 in Parramatta. These awards can be put toward travel and accommodation expenses. While we expect that there will be four awards of approximately A$500 each, the organising committee reserves the right to award more or less awards as they see fit, or to alter the amount of any awards.

Students: How to apply

• Send an email to the general chair of the conference with the subject line "ADCS 2015 Travel Support Request", indicating that you would like to apply for the award, and the amount for which you are applying.
• The email must be cc'ed to your supervisor.
• In the email, you should briefly outline why you should get the award. Please address the selection criteria below (bullet points are fine). Be sure to include your name, your supervisor's name, and where you will be travelling from.
• You must also arrange for your supervisor to send a separate email acknowledging that you are indeed enrolled as a student, and that the statements you made in the application are correct (to the best of their knowledge).

Note that the award will be in the form of a reimbursement of expenses, not a cash award. The awardees will only receive money after producing receipts for appropriate expenses, and completing any supplied forms. The reimbursement will be processed through Western Sydney University accounts or the ACM.
