UCM will be awarding 40 grants to doctoral candidates participating in the First Summer School on Security and Privacy in 6G Networks
The grants are intended to encourage and support PhD candidates with limited economic support and with limited opportunities to participate in international academic events. The grant will cover the Summer School fee.
The deadline for application is 20 June 2024 (midnight CET).
Only PhD candidates are eligible to receive Summer School grants.
Applicants are expected to complete and submit the application form in which they will be asked about their financial and institutional background as well as their motivation for applying. In the application letter, students should especially specify the reasons for why they should be awarded a grant. The focus should be placed on the stability of the doctoral position (financial support, time given to complete the PhD., etc.), the academic support (in terms of supervision and opportunities for structured feedback), international academic exposure, and all other topics that might seem relevant to the applicant.
The grants will be awarded based on a number of criteria. The primary aim is to make it possible for young scholars to participate in the Summer School, who otherwise would not have the opportunity to participate in a similar event. Evaluations will especially assess applicants’ access to financial or institutional resources.
Furthermore, it will be considered in how far an applicant has opportunities to received qualified feedback by high-profile researchers and peers in a way the Summer School provides. The selection process will be continuous and will be carried out by the Organizing Committee.
Deadline for applications: 20 June 2024.
Deadline for notification of grant selection process: 21 June 2024.
