DLMPS small conference grants

The Executive Committee of the IUHPS(DLMPS) invites applications from members to support conferences that will take place during 2014. The maximum amount that IUHPS(DLMPS) can supply to support a conference is $1500(US). A brief letter of application should be sent to the Secretary/Treasurer, Peter Schroeder-Heister secretary-general@dlmpst.org, describing the subject of the conference, the names of speakers, an estimate of the number of people attending, and an indication of how much money is requested and what that money will be used for. The Executive Committee prefers to support conferences that

1. will have a multi-national group of participants.
2. will include the participation of younger scholars.
3. will include the participation of individuals from outside of Europe and North America,
4. will use video-conferencing technology in addition to having participants travel to the conference site.

These preferences are not requirements; they are desiderata. The deadline for receipt of requests is November 15, 2013.

In order to be eligible, an application needs to be supported by one of the member organizations of DLMPS/IUHPS. Conferences whose main organizer is a member of the executive committee of the DLMPS/IUHPS are not eligible for funding.
