Conference Travel Grants
We had 9 applications for the conference travel grants this year and we have informed the 4 lucky student winners. It is unfortunate that we cannot give to all of the applicants and we hope the ones that missed out still attend the conference to present their research.

There are 6 (six) Student Prizes available at the 2019 conference. You must attend and present to be eligible.
