Travel Support
Deadline: October 15th.
Thanks to the US National Science Foundation, there is (limited) travel support for students and postdocs at US institutions to FWCG 2024. All students and postdocs (at US institutions) are encouraged to apply, but priority will be given to speakers who have no (or limited) other travel funding. Since support is limited, we anticipate mostly funding of local (shared) accommodations and relatively inexpensive travel. (Registration at FWCG is free.)
To apply for travel support,
- visit and complete the form at this link: Support Request Form. You will be asked to provide your name, email affiliation, student/postdoc status, a brief statement, etc.
- if you are a student, your adviser must also send a separate email to Joseph Mitchell (joseph.mitchell@stonybrook.edu) with subject “FWCG 2024 travel support” confirming your student status, recommending your attendance at FWCG 2024, and describing any other available travel funds. Vague statements such as “funds are tight” are not informative. Each adviser may nominate at most two students for travel support.
Applications and supporting letters should arrive by October 15 for full consideration; late applications will only be considered based on availability of funds. Awardees will be selected and notified by October 28. Applications will be reviewed in consultation with the FWCG program committee.
The requested information will be used to prioritize awards according to the following criteria:
- Speakers presenting at FWCG who do not have other travel support.
- Members of under-represented groups with research interests in computational geometry, whose attendance would broaden participation at the conference.
- Applicants whose statements and supporting information make a particularly compelling case for attending the conference.
Travel awards can be used only to offset transportation and lodging costs; other expenses such as food cannot be reimbursed. Receipts will be required for all covered expenses. All reimbursements will be made after the workshop.
