TMA 2019 PhD School
Registration
Registration for the TMA 2019 PhD School will open soon, and will take place via EasyChair. The link to the registration will be posted on this page as soon as it is available.
As the PhD school is popular, we encourage students to register early. Our goal is to admit as many students as possible but we do note that we have limited room availability.
Deadlines
Application deadline: Monday March 25th at 23:59 UTC
Tentative decision notification: Wednesday April 3rd
How to apply
The price for registration for the TMA 2019 PhD school is fixed at €250 per student. This fee will be levied on all attending students, also those receiving travel grants (see below), as the travel grant rules from our sponsors require us to ask for a small own investment.
In order to apply, please submit the following as a single PDF document via EasyChair:
- the title and abstract of your poster (in the fields required by EasyChair)
- a current CV with contact information and e-mail address;
- a short personal statement, including: i) a description of the research subject followed by the student, and (ii) information that the applicant feels is relevant to support his/her application, e.g., why the PhD School attendance is important to the applicant’s research and career development;
In case you also want to apply for optional travel support, we ask you to also include:
- a letter from your advisor which should: (i) confirm the applicant’s good standing in the institution; (ii) explain why the applicant would benefit from attending the TMA PhD School;
- the estimated expenses for attending the TMA PhD School (total, and breakdown by travel and lodging), and an indication of which cost items would need to be covered by the grant; if the applicant will be unable to attend the school without a travel grant, they should explain why this is the case (in this case the advisor’s letter should additionally explain the current funding status of the applicant and why the applicant is in need of the travel grant);
The organisation will prioritise awarding of travel grants to students who will be unable to attend without a grant, and additionally based on diversity and the region from which the applicant has to travel, to ensure representation from traditionally underrepresented regions. In special cases, where the registration fee is also prohibitive, the organisation may decide to waive the fee at its discretion.
Any decision made by the organisation regarding attendance and awarding of travel grants is final. We note that reimbursements of travel grants may take up to several months to complete.
Additional Notes
Please pay attention to the following details about the student travel grant application and reimbursement process:
- The School will admit a limited number of students.
- Students enrolled in PhD study programs will receive preference both in the admission to the School and the travel grant awarding.
- Students admitted to the school are encouraged to attend the TMA conference (a separate fee applies).
- We expect a student travel grant will significantly offset registration, air fare and shared hotel accommodation. However, it may not fully cover these expenses, since our desire is to maximize participation by students.
- In order to obtain reimbursement, you must provide original receipts for air fare and hotel expenses, along with boarding passes (plane or train) for both outbound and inbound journeys.
- All students participating in the School are required to present a poster describing their research and to actively engage with all activities. Failing to do so will lead to admission rejection.
- Please provide complete contact information. You will be notified via email, so make sure your email address is correct on your application
