This is a final reminder of the Call for Nominations for the IBPSA Student Travel Awards.
The deadline for nominations is 15 May 2015, matching the deadline for paper submission for BS2015.
Student Travel Awards - Supporting students to attend BS2015
Travel to IBPSA Conferences can be an expensive business - especially for students. In order to assist as many students as possible to participate in BS 2015 in Hyderabad, India, IBPSA will grant a number of travel awards of up to 1000USD to students presenting papers. The number of places is limited to a maximum of 5 grants and as a result is highly competitive.
The selection committee bases its decisions upon the following selection criteria:
* need for financial assistance, evidenced in a letter of recommendation from the student's supervisor/ advisor of studies (must be on university letterhead);
* overall quality of the paper;
* relevance of contribution to the field of and/or furthering the effective application of building simulation.
To be eligible, the student must be:
* enrolled in a graduate programme related to building simulation at the time of the conference; AND
* the thesis project must be directly related to building simulation.
Applications MUST be supported by a letter of recommendation from the student's supervisor/ advisor / director of studies.
Applications for the award must be made by 15 May, 2015 (same date as the deadline for full paper submission) via e-mail to pieter.dewilde at plymouth.ac.uk
The e-mail application must include the following:
The student's name;
The name of the programme, department, faculty, and university;
The title of the PhD or Master's research;
The name of the student's supervisor(s)/ advisor(s);
The faculty recommendation letter on university letterhead in PDF format.
The selection committee will base its decision upon a review of the letters of support and the final manuscripts. Therefore, to be eligible the student MUST submit the paper by the full paper deadline of 15 May, 2015.
