Funding

The workshop is financially supported by AITO. This year we have also received financial support from Object Technology International Inc.

Funding is available for PhD students doing research in the area of object-orientation. We would like to support all participants, but since money is limited, we have established some funding criteria. We are aware that no criteria could be perfectly fair. Our goal is to make them as fair as possible for everybody.

The following criteria apply:

  • The amount of funding given to an applicant will depend on the estimated cost of his/her attendance, other fundings he/she received, and his/her monthly income.

  • Priority will be given to those applicants who have not previously received funding for this workshop.

  • The funding should help the participation of a reasonable number of persons. This means that we will rather choose to support several persons having lower travelling expenses than few persons having very high travelling expenses.

  • There will be a reasonably broad geographical distribution of receivers of funding.

  • There will be a special emphasis to support people from the former socialist countries in Europe.


How to apply

An applicant must provide the following documents in  original:

  • An estimate of the travelling costs for coming to ECOOP '99, along with a description of the intended traveling route and means of transportation.

  • A declaration of monthly income after deduction of tax, but without deduction of living costs like rent, food, transportation.

  • Detailed information about other sources of funding for participation in the ECOOP '99. This could be a statement that one has not been able to obtain any other funding.

  • A signed declaration stating the following: "I, <name>, hereby declare that all information concerning my funding is correct and complete to the best of my knowledge. I will immediately notify the workshop organisers of any changes that make this information incorrect or incomplete."

Additional Notes

Payment of conference fee:
We assume that participants want to attend the whole conference and not just the workshop. Funding will include the conference fee, not just the workshop-only registration fee (the conference fee includes the workshops). If the workshop-only registration is enough for you, please let us know.

The conference fee for all funded participants will be paid directly to ECOOP. We'll do that in one transaction to save banking fees. Funded participants will receive their allocated fund minus the conference fee (early student rate).

Conference registration: The funded participants will have to register themselves once their registration fees have been paid.
