In order to assist as many students as possible to participate in Building Simulation 2021 in Bruges, Belgium, IBPSA will grant travel awards of up to $?1,000 (US) to students presenting peer-reviewed papers.
The number of student travel awards per biennial conference is limited, and these awards are therefore 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.
Travel awards will be conditional to students attending the conference in person.
The deadline for applications is March 31st, 2021.
Details on applications are available on the IPBSA website: www.ibpsa.org/awards/#student
