LEXICON DEVELOPMENT FOR LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING, LEUVEN 14-25 JULY 1997
!!BURSARIES!!
*************
ELSNET has successfully applied for a TMR (Training and Mobility of
Researchers) grant to provide bursaries to participants of the ELSNET
summer school (total 30.000 ECU for 1997). Each bursary will cover
the cost for travel, accommodation, subsistence and fee. Because this
opportunity will allow more people to participate, we have extended the
deadline for subscription to the summer school and for the application
of bursaries until
*** MAY 12, 1997 ***
Conditions
==========
It is ELSNET's aim to put special emphasis on activities which will ensure
equal access to the Information Society for all European citizens and
language communities. As a result, applicants from the following categories
will be given priority:
- young researchers from less-favoured regions
- young researchers from the smaller and 'less-favoured' language communities
- young researchers employed by SME's
A limited number of grants can be made available for participants not
belonging to one of the above categories. In that case, the applicant
should motivate in what way his/her participation will contribute to
equal access to the Information Society for all European citizens and
language communities.
In addition, applicants should be nationals of an EU Member State or of
an Associate State.
How to proceed
===============
Please send your application, together with your registration form for the
summer school (which can be found at the Summer School Home Page) to the
Summer School Secretariat (cf below). It should contain a concise motivation
with respect to the conditions given above, plus an estimate of costs to be
covered by the bursary, and it should state the applicants' nationality.
Participants who already registered for the Summer School can also apply
for a grant. In that case, please indicate on your application that
registration was already done.
All applications will be considered by a small committee with representatives
from ELSNET, ESCA and EACL. Decisions are expected by May 26, 1997.
