CEPIS SUPPORT for ESSIR 2005

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of CEPIS-EIRSG, the European Information Retrieval Specialist Group, ESSIR 2005 will contribute to the expenses of a number of European full-time students attending ESSIR 2005 by awarding a limited number of partial travel grants. Each grant will come in the form of a flat contribution of €300, and may be used to pay for the early registration fee.

In order to apply for the grant, a student applicant should send a message to the address essir2005@computing.dcu.ie with subject "ESSIR 2005 grant application" and containing the following information:

• Personal data of the applicant (Name, Age, Organization, Degree for which the applicant is studying, Name of Supervisor);
• A one-page CV + list of up to five main publications (this can be attached as a .pdf file), and
• A one-page statement of why the applicant should receive partial funding support.

Proof of full-time student status should also be separately sent, in the form of an e-mail by the student's supervisor who certifies the full-time student status (as at the date of the application) of the applicant, and sent to the address essir2005@computing.dcu.ie.

All applications should be received by 27 June 2005.

Notifications that the grant has or has not been awarded will be e-mailed to both student and supervisor by 1 July 2005.
