Q&A

The AAMAS-06 organisers are delighted to announce a student scholarship scheme. The purpose of this scheme is to provide financial support for students with accepted papers at AAMAS-06, to enable them to travel to the conference. The message describes who is eligible for support and how to apply.

Am I eligible for support?

To be eligible for the scheme you must:

At this point we plan to support authors of main conference papers. Though unlikely, if funds permit, we might support workshop authors.

We particuarly encourage student scholarship applications from underrepresented regions.

No - sorry. We have limited funds, and students are our highest funding priority.

I meet the eligibility criteria - How do I apply?

You need to do two things:

What happens after that?

We will contact all applicants to let them know the outcome as soon as possible. (It would be helpful if you did *not* send any emails asking about the state of your application, as this just clogs up email in trays and slows the process down!). **If an award is made, the final reimbursement request should bear the signature of this advisor**.

Who is funded and for what amount?

We will first check eligibility. We anticipate different levels of funding based on geographic location (distance to conference venue, underrepresented regions), level of participation, etc..

In case of limited funding, funding amounts will vary based on the following: number of papers authored, if first/sole author of paper, long/short paper, workshop paper(s).

At this point we plan to support authors of main conference papers. Though unlikely, if funds permit, we might support workshop authors.
