Guidelines for granting financial
support by the ATR (updated
04/2005)
At
the request of PhD and MSc students the ATR may grant a financial
support for
the participation in TRACE-conferences or field- / laboratory weeks.
The
financial support is to be seen as aid to help cover fees or travel
expenses. The
maximum amount of financial support will be granted based on the annual
financial situation of the association. The amount will be decided
annually by
the board members (currently 150.-€). The ATR board will decide to
whom support
will be granted, and if necessary an external expert will be involved.
The
request-form is to be directed to the president of the ATR considering
the
following articles:
1. The request form
and all attachments
(5.a-d) have to be sent 6 weeks before the beginning of the event.
2. As a general
rule, the support can only
be granted once per year to the same person.
3. There is no
legal obligation for the ATR
to grant any request.
4. Requests for
TRACE-conference support require
active participation (oral or poster presentation) of the applicant.
5. The following
information has to be
attached to the request form:
a) A list of publications or a
copy of the MSc- or PhD-thesis, or else a summary of the current
scientific
work (max. 0.5 pages).
b) An abstract of the scientific
contribution of the applicant to the conference.
c) A confirmation of the
supervisor indicating if any additional support is or will be granted
by the
own or other institutions for the requested event.
d) All bank information necessary for money
transfer.
