Some limited funds are available for travel support to help partially offset the costs of attending the 2007 SAC workshop. These stipends are intended primarily for full-time students (doing research work in the area of cryptography) who would not otherwise be able to attend. Please note that there is no guarantee that we will have enough money to fund all applicants.
To apply for a stipend, send email to sac2007@site.uottawa.ca with a subject line of "SAC2007 stipend application" and the following information:
- Name, affiliation, and contact info;- Whether you are a full-time student;
- How much of a stipend it would take for you to attend SAC(please don't simply add up all your costs and tell us that number --- rather, think about how much you need to make this comparable to a reasonable nearby conference that you would have been able to attend);
- A brief (10 lines or fewer) summary of your background and interests in
this field
(this could be papers you have written in cryptography (published previously
at SAC or elsewhere); other work you have done that would add value to the
workshop or the field; a statement from your advisor about why other attendees
would benefit from having you here, or why you would benefit from being here;
a discussion of why you are excited about cryptography; etc.).
