The Conference Organizers are offering scholarships to students and post-docs to attend the conference. These scholarships, of up to USD $500 each, are to be used to help defray the expenses associated with conference attendance, including air and lodging costs. Receipts will be required to receive reimbursement.

Abstracts submitted for poster presentation will be used as the basis for awarding the scholarships. The Conference Organizers will select the scholarship recipients based on the quality of science of the abstract and the relevance of the abstract to the conference topic. Only one application per abstract is accepted.

High quality abstracts will also be selected as plenary short talks and plenary workshop talks.
