Dear presenters,
The ISA Forum is getting closer and closer.
In the meantime we have some good news for those among of you, who could benefit from a financial support for participating in the conference. ISA has allocated a small budget to every RC that can be allocated (after successful application) to active participants in the conference program, who are in good standing (i.e., those who have paid the individual membership fee). Please be aware that applications for a grant can be submitted to only one RC/WG/TG as stated on the website of ISA.
If you like to apply for a registration grant and are eligible, please send an email to ice2-ess-conference@fz-juelich.de by January 31, 2025. The results of the application will be published on the ISA conference website around the end of February/beginning of March.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Rabat!
Best wishes on behalf of RC33,
Hawal Shamon, Vice President Congress- and Forum Programme Coordinator
