Sponsoring the Future
Sponsorship is a collaboration: We benefit from your sponsorship, and we also want your organization to benefit from us. Corporate and private sponsorship of the workshop contributes to its successful outcome and has been key to its 25 year successful record of accomplishments. The workshop and its participants appreciate your financial and logistic support because it allows us to reduce registration fees, to offer scholarships to students, and to offer travel support to attract first-time senior experts. It forms a connection between the participants and the sponsor.
Private donations are also appreciated by the organizers and participants, and can be named or anonymous. Private donations are also gratefully accepted in the name of a late researcher.
