Award

EFaB Paper Presentation Award

The EFaB section sponsors Junior Researcher Sessions at selected conferences/workshops. Generally, up to three PhD students and young post-doctoral researchers are eligible for cost refund up to US$ 500 each. As a condition for receiving this grant, EFaB requires the session participants to be member of ISBA and its EFaB section. For more information, organizers may contact the EFaB Program Chair.

Each year, the EFaB board members determine the set of conferences/workshops and researchers to fund according to budgetary availability and the rules indicated above. Funding a session in the past does not provide a guarantee that such funding will continue into the future.
