RDP'09 Student Travel Grants
   Call for Applications

**********************************************************************

RDP'09 is the fifth edition of the International Conference on
Rewriting, Deduction and Programming, to be held June 28 to July 03 in
Brasília, Brazil. Please consult the RDP'09 web page http://rdp09.cic.unb.br
for more information.

Grants for partial support of travel expenses are available for
students who would not otherwise have resources to attend RDP'09, and
whose attendance would benefit both the applicant and the conference.

The number of grants and the per-grant amount will be established on a
case by case basis, depending on the applicant's need and the total
amount of funds available for the program. Applicants should note that
a grant is limited, and that costs in excess of the grant will not be
reimbursed.

Grants will be awarded based on the evaluating committee's assessment
of the applicant's genuine financial need, the potential benefit to
the applicant's education, research, and career, and the potential
benefit to the conference or workshop. Among those applicants who
genuinely could not attend the conference without a grant, the
evaluating committee gives priority to (co-)authors of accepted
papers.

Applications should explain briefly
- the current status of the applicant
- the kind of participation of the applicant in RDP
- a breakdown of the estimated amount needed

Applications should be send by May 24, midnight UT time zone, by email
to rdp09@cic.unb.br. Applicants should have their supervisor send a
recommendation email to the same address and by the same deadline. This
letter should describe the student's work, the benefit to that work of attending
the conference, and an assessment of the student's financial need.

Timeline:
- Sunday, May 24, midnight UT   Deadline for applications and recommendation letters
- Thursday, May 30              Notification
