There will be a limited amount of funding to support young participants. The support is preferentially directed to cover (in part) the expenses of students and young postdocs from the Nordic countries. Depending on funding, support for other young participants may become available. We also hope to provide a significant number of fellowships covering registration fees and all (or part of) local expenses with student-type accommodation. In some cases, partial contribution to travel expenses can also be possible.Those participants who require financial support should fill the appropriate section in the registration form. The registration of the applicants will be temporary until decisions are made by the organizers. Applicants do not need to send money at this stage.
