Support

A very limited amount of funding will be available for young scientists:

Young Physicist Fund: Young Physicists under 35 years may apply to the EPS Young Physicist Fund.
Applicants need to register via the conference online registration system and need to send their request to conferences@eps.org outlining the reasons for the support request. Please state your age, and send your student identity card. The deadline to apply is 30 April 2007.

East West Task Fund: Participants from Eastern countries may apply to the EPS East West Task Fund.
Applicants need to register via the conference online registration system and are directly requested to check whether they fulfil all the conditions at http://www.fzu.cz/varia/ewtf/ . The conditions have to be strictly respected. The deadline to apply is 30 April 2007.

As a rule, both grants cannot be cumulated.

PhOREMOST Networkof Excellence Funds:
Through the generous support of the Network of Excellence PhOREMOST supporting the CK symposium on Photonic Crystals, Photonic Nanostructures and Integrated Optics, conference organizers will be able to offer limited partial support for young researchers (graduate students and post-docs) who plan to contribute to this symposium with an oral/poster presentation. Priority will be given to young researchers from new EU countries and accession countries. The partial support will consist of registration fee waiver to the qualified participants. The application form should be submitted before March 30, 2007.
