Financial support

There is limited financial support, preferably allocated to students and postdoctoral fellows. Any participant, however, will be considered for support, if they fill in the following questionnaire. We are currently planning to issue a few individual grants for US participants, each ranging between $ 500,00 - 1000,00; these grants will be in the form of reimbursable costs, in other words they will be issued to the participant AFTER the travel has been completed. For all other (non-US) participants in need of support, we are planning to cover registration and local expenses in China as the case maybe, so please let us know if financial support is indispensable for your participation.
