OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS:
The SOC has invited the above speakers
to cover the frame of the scientific aims and purposes of the conference.
Ample time is available for contributed talks. However, the preliminary
registration pointed to a large number of oral contributions as such that
a severe selection, based on the abstract, by the SOC must be made. Sessions
are scheduled for visiting the poster exhibitions during the whole conference.
Also here a selection might be necessary as the number of poster contributions
for the conference proceedings will be 60. Other posters may be shown only
when enough panels are available. For the moment we can place all incoming
posters!!
All participants who wish to present
a contribution to this Conference are, therefore, kindly requested to submit
an abstract, with a maximum of 20 lines, of their talk and/or poster BEFORE
OCTOBER 15th, 1999. You can do this by filling in the appropriate
ABSTRACT
FORM, or by replying with the completed (latex) file provided at the
end of this announcement.
Participants will receive a booklet containing the abstracts of all the contributions at the conference desk.
CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS:
Conference contributions will be
presented in a dedicated proceedings book and will be offered to all participants
as being part of their registration fees. Negotiations with different publishers
are still in progress. All further information on the proceedings, number
of pages per contribution and deadlines, will be issued in the second announcement.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:
EUROPEAN GRANTS:
We are happy to announce that European
grants are made available by support of the European Community. As
you might know these grants have some strict rules which should be taken
into account when applying. Preferably, use the application
form on our webpage. We repeat the rules and grant restrictions below
and in the forms, to be sure your application can be taken into consideration!
The following type of EEC grants are available:
The key to these type of grants
are given below. The LOC and SOC will decide about the application.
Note that this can only be done after you
have registrated and sent the abstract in the case you wish to make a scientific
contribution. Priority will be given to those that do sent a contribution.
Explanation of the EEC grants restrictions: (This is the official text, sorry if it is not clear)
* Participants
Participants of a conference can generally be divided into organisers and attending researchers. Attending scientists are invited keynote speakers/lecturers, young researchers and other attending researchers. Researchers who wish to attend a conference should apply directly to the organisers.
Conference organisers shall encourage the attendance of female researchers.
Invited keynote speakers or lecturers must be internationally recognised experts in the topic concerned. They give, for instance, training seminars at Euro Summer Schools or overview presentations at EuroConferences.
Young researchers are researchers, who additionally satisfy the Age Criterion and are able to benefit from the advanced training offered by a Conference project. They normally participate as attending scientists, but can also act as organisers or invited keynote speakers/lecturers. Young researchers do not have an automatic right to participate in, nor to be supported by, a particular Conference project; the selection of candidates is the responsibility of the organisers.
Age criterion: Young researchers are researchers up to an age limit of 35 years at the time of a particular conference event. As an exception to this standard rule, young researchers acting as organisers or invited keynote speakers/lecturers may use as reference date, the relevant deadline for proposal reception at the Commission.
Allowance will be made for compulsory military or civil service (actual time spent in military or civil service) and childcare (maximum 2 years per child for the actual time spent off work).
* Nationals of Third Countries
The Community may support researchers who are nationals of third countries, if they are invited keynote speakers/lecturers or scientific organisers. All other researchers, who are nationals of third countries, may only be supported if they satisfy the Residence Criterion. Additionally, researchers of any nationality may participate without support of the Community.
Residence Criterion: Nationals of third countries may be supported if they have been residing in the Community (Member States of the European Union. This wording explicitly excludes Associated States) for at least the last five years prior to the starting date of the event in which they participate.
* Financial Guidelines
High-Level Scientific Conferences will be implemented
as accompanying measures. Community financing is intended to contribute
to the following cost categories:
A) Up to 100% of expenses related to the participation of young researchers, who are nationals (the Residence Criterion of Chapter 3 is applicable and allows under certain conditions participation of nationals of third countries) of a Member State or an Associated State, and active inside a Member State or an Associated State at the time of the event (travel, subsistence and participation fees);
B) Up to 100% of expenses related to the participation of researchers, who are nationals of a Member State or an Associated State, and active outside Member States and Associated States at the time of the event (travel, subsistence and participation fees);
C) Up to 50 % of expenses related to the participation of invited keynote speakers and scientific organisers of any nationality (travel and subsistence);
*Member States: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece Ireland, Luxembourg, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom *Associated States: Iceland, Israel, Norway
OTHER FUNDINGS
Unfortunately, the LOC has no funds for full grants. We might, therefore, consider only a very limited number of requests for financial support. Note: there are many relative cheap charter flights from Europe to Tenerife, see below. Also full packet travel arrangements might be a cheap solution, but make sure that your hotel is located in, or near, Puerto de la Cruz. January is "high" season though, so any of such arrangements should be made fairly soon.
