Opportunities for students:
<br>
Attendees of the INCF Autumn School from the EU are eligible to apply
for funding to cover expenses for both the Neuroinformatics2008
congress and the INCF Autumn School. The awards are intended to cover
low-price airfare, low-fare hostel accommodation for the full duration
of the congress and the course (i.e. 5 nights), and the congress
registration fee (early registration). We especially encourage students
from new EU countries to apply. Course applicants who wish to apply for
this funding should indicate this and provide an estimate of the
traveling costs in their CV or Autumn School application.
