Financial support for young citrus phytopathologists wishing to attend the XVIII IOCV Conference & Tour
IOCV has been able to collect some funds, essentially from Brazilian sources, to help young phytopathologists or microbiologists to attend the 18th IOCV Conference & Tour in Brazil. We should be able to support 10 to 15 such scientists.
For selected candidates, hotel accommodations and meals as well as registration fees will be free for both the IOCV Conference and the IOCV Post-Conference Tour. Thus, all beneficiaries will receive the same support.
The support will not be given as cash, but accommodations, meals and registration will be free. They will have to pay only their transportation costs from their places of origin to Campinas city (see travel information - link www.iocv2010.net.br/travel_information.html).
We need your help to identify candidates eligible for these supports. Please, ask your younger colleagues to submit their candidacies to IOCV chairwoman, Nuria Duran-Vila < nuria.duran@inia.es>.
To be eligible, a candidate must have a PhD, preferably within the field of citrus pathology since less than ten years, with however priority to candidates with a PhD since less than five years. Priority will also be given to candidates attending both the IOCV-Conference and the IOCV Post-Conference Tour. A candidate must also be the author or a co-author of a communication to be presented at the 18th IOCV Conference. Selection of the candidates will be by an IOCV committee appointed and chaired by the IOCV chairwoman, Nuria Duran-Vila, and comprising the IOCV secretary, Georgios Vidalakis, and one representative of each of the five Continents.
Candidates should fill out the form (doc - link para download de arquivo doc - or pdf - link para download de arquivo pdf -) and e-mail (nuria.duran@inia.es) or fax it to Nuria Duran-Vila (Fax number: +34 913473933) together with the abstract of their communication as quickly as possible and in any case before September 20th, 2010.
