ANRW Travel Grants
The ANRW organizers are trying to provide as much support to as many student
attendees as possible. Travel grants are available to students
currently enrolled
in Bachelor, Masters or PhD programs at any university.
Travel grant awards are meant to
partially
cover the cost of attending and participating in the workshop. The only travel
expenses that can be reimbursed are:
- economy air or rail fares
- hotel
- workshop registration
The award recipients will need to pay for the expenses ahead of time and get
reimbursed after the workshop. The exact number of awards will depend on the
availability of funds and will be determined as funding amounts are finalized.

ANRW ’22 workshop

Applications submitted before the deadline will be proceeded on a rolling basis
as they are received.
Selection Criteria
The following criteria will be used in the selection process:
-
Preference will be given to applicants that do
not
present a paper at the workshop. The rationale is that the participation
costs for a presenting author should be covered by their home institution.
-
Evidence of a serious interest in applied networking, as demonstrated by
coursework and/or project experience, is required. Advanced students
close to graduation will also be given priority, when possible, in order
to aid their job search.
-
We strongly encourage participation of women and under-represented
minorities.
-
After giving priority to the above criteria, (co-)authors of papers may be
considered, but will be given lower priority. The rationale is to support
people that contribute to the workshop but could not attend otherwise, e.g.,
due to budget or other constraints. The applicant should explain why it is
impossible to support them from other sources.
