Master and PhD students are eligible for this grant that will cover the hotel and travel expenses up to 500 € and grant the full registration fee.

Those wishing to apply should tick the appropriate box in the Application Form to be filled by January 31st, 2020, and should send by email two documents to studentgrant-leaps2020@desy.de:

  • a short informal application letter addressed to the Chairs of the Organizing Committee, (1) indicating your motivation for the conference, (2) including the name of your tutor and his confirmation by signature on the document (or by email to studentgrant-leaps2020@desy.de)
  • a CV - please clearly specify the year of the achievement of your Master/PhD.

The decision about the requested grants will be made known to the applicants by the end of February 2020. The evaluation committee will decide if supported students are expected to present a poster or a talk on their work. 

The student grant covers:
