Grants

EuroSys, with generous donations from our supporters, offers several grants to enable students, post-docs, and faculty worldwide to attend the conference. The grants cover the EuroSys conference registration, including meals, and possibly some funding toward accommodation and travel expenses.

Grants will be awarded by the grant committee based on a combination of need and merit. Students receiving a travel grant need to agree to serve as a session scribe (if required) during the conference. Applicants are encouraged to participate to the poster session and the workshops.

Who can apply?

Funding is available to all students, post-docs, and faculty at educational institutions world-wide.

How to apply

Applications have to be submitted at http://atlas.cs.vu.nl/eurosys2016-grants/ (a hotcrp-based submission site). The following information is requested from all applicants:

• The completed submission form, which asks for name and affiliation, participation in the EuroSys 2016 program, and the anticipated travel expenses. Make sure that the "Anticipated Travel Expenses and Advisor's Contact Details" field includes the advisor’s contact details (if applicable). The award committee may use this information to request a recommendation letter for the applicant if necessary for reaching the decision.
• A short position paper explaining what benefits are expected from attending the conference and why the grant should be awarded. The statement should describe ongoing research and recent papers published by the applicant. It should be no longer than one page. Please write in English and upload the position paper as a PDF file.
