Student Travel Awards - Supporting students to attend BS2017
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 2017 in San Francisco, USA, IBPSA will grant a number of travel awards of
up to 1,000 USD to students presenting peer-reviewed 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 peer-reviewed 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 program 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 January, 2017 via e-mail to
cheolspark at skku.ac.kr
