The ICORS 2010 Co-Organizers are pleased to announce that Student Housing Support is available to a limited number of students.  Housing support recipients will receive a complimentary five-night (5) stay at the conference hotel.  Accommodations will be in a double-bedded room shared with another housing support recipient of the same gender.

This support is possible because of the generous sponsorship of ICORS 2010 by a number of societies, institutions and instrument manufacturers.

Eligibility.  Student Housing Support applications will only be accepted from students making either an oral or poster presentation at the conference; each application will be restricted to only the lead named student author who is presenting the paper/poster.

How to Apply.  Student applicants should submit a completed application form, a short up-to-date CV, and a letter of recommendation from their Supervisor (major advisor).  All materials should be submitted via email (as attachments) or fax to the conference office.  See below for contact information.

Conference Co-Organizers will review all applications. Applicants will be notified in writing well in advance of the conference (by early May 2010) of the outcome of their application.

Successful applicants will be assisted by the conference office staff in making their hotel reservations.  Room and tax will be covered by ICORS 2010 for five (5) nights.  Additional charges (room service, telephone, additional nights) will be the responsibility of the successful applicant.  The Co-Organisers decision will be final.

Deadline.  Applications for a student bursary must be received by March 1, 2010.
