EuroSys 2008

Eurosys, with generous donations from sponsors, offers several grants to enable students to attend the conference. Scholarships cover the Eurosys conference registration, including meals and proceedings, and possibly hotel room during the conference and funding for travel expenses.

Scholarships will be awarded by the scholarship committee based on a combination of need and merit. Students receiving scholarships need to agree to serve as a session scribe (if required) during the conference. Applicants are encouraged to participate in the poster session and in the workshops.

Funding is available to all students at educational institutions, world-wide.

To apply you should submit the following:

1. A fully filled-out Eurosys Student Scholarship Application. The application form appears below.
2. A letter of recommendation from your advisor, supporting the application, which must cover the technical merit of your participation.
3. A short position paper written by you explaining what benefit is expected from attending the conference and why the scholarship should be granted. The statement should describe any research you have been doing and list any papers you have published. It should be no longer than one page.

Applications have to be in plain text (no attachments, simple ASCII text in the body of your message), in English, and submitted by email to scholarships@eurosys.org. The advisor's statement should be sent separately from the student's application, and should indicate the student's name in the “Subject” line.
