Student Bursaries The organisers of QSAR2004 are keen to encourage the involvement of post-graduate (PhD) students and young researchers in the Workshop. As such, fees for registered students have been reduced. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, financial assistance (in the form of bursaries) may be available for registered PhD students and young researchers who can demonstrate a need. The following conditions apply: Students and young researchers will be considered for bursaries only if they can demonstrate they are actively involved in research within the main themes and sessions of the Workshop. The student or young researcher must make a presentation of their recent research findings (oral or poster) at QSAR2004 and be willing to attend and contribute to the whole workshop. The presentation must fall within one of the main themes and sessions of the meeting. Students and young researchers are expected to actively seek funding to meet their travel and registration fees before requesting a bursary from the Workshop organisers. Bursaries may be made available to cover (either in part or in full) the cost of registration fees or travel (or both) for students and young researchers. All decisions will be made by the Local Organising Committee, or their nominated representative(s), and will be made on an individual assessment of each case. To apply for a bursary the PhD student or young researcher should submit an abstract for the meeting to meet the deadlines stated on the web-site. The PhD student or young researcher should then contact in writing (e-mail is acceptable) the organisers to state their case for a bursary, and the funds requested. This should be at the same time as submission of the abstract. A letter in support of the application of a bursary, and the PhD student’s or young researcher’s attendance at QSAR2004 is required from the Director of Studies, or the home institution.
