Presentation
The Intensive Programme (IP) called "When mathematics meets nanosciences - MathNanosci 2009" will consist of a set of short courses (both basic and more advanced ones) and seminars, with master students and doctoral students as target audience. The participation of 30 students (15 MSc + 15 PhD) from the partner universities will be supported by the EC Erasmus Programme.
The programme will take place at Hotel Sporting in Alba Adriatica (Italy) in the period September 7-19, 2009.
Sponsors
The LLP Italian National Agency will support the MathNanoSci IP, with a contribution for living expenses and travel costs for selected Master and PhD students from partners institutions.
We assume to select:
- a maximum of 30 students (MSc or PhD) for the contribution for travel costs and the contribution for accommodation and subsistence costs: this corresponds to about 5 students for each partner institution.
The contact person of each institution in the Organizing Committee is responsible for the selection of students in their universities.
Details about Reimbursement
Reservation for lodging and contribution for subsistence costs.
Please notice that students and teachers from partner universities will be hosted in university premises free of charge for the whole period of the IP. Unfortunately, the Erasmus agency applies a very low daily amount for subsistence costs of students (24 euro per day, both for lodging and full board). That's why, in addition to the accommodation, we can confirm that we will only be able to offer students free access to the university canteen (open on working days). We hope we'll be able to offer some additional support to students, but we cannot guarantee anything at the moment.
