Twitter: @iswc2013 / #iswc2013
=============================================================================

ISWC is the major international forum where the latest research results 
and technical innovations on all aspects of the Semantic Web are presented.
*Important Dates*
- Deadline for Application: Thursday, 15 August 2013
- Early Registration Date: Friday, 16 August 2013
============================================================================= 


We are pleased to announce that the Semantic Web Science Association 
(SWSA) has contributed 25,000€ to support participation by full-time 
students in ISWC 2013, and we also anticipate funding from the U.S. 
National Science Foundation to support students attending U.S. 
universities. We expect that the SWSA funds will support around 25 
awards of 1,000€ each, although the actual award amounts could be 
significantly different, depending on the number of qualified applicants.

All full-time students are eligible for SWSA funds, although these funds 
will primarily be used for students attending schools outside of the 
U.S. SWSA funds have no restrictions on airlines and can cover 
registration costs.

Our goal is to encourage students who want to become part of the 
Semantic Web research community, and we hope that participation in ISWC 
2013 will be a significant event in the graduate careers of the selected 
students. In selecting applications for travel support, preference will 
be given to students selected to participate in the doctoral consortium, 
followed by students who are first author on a paper accepted at the 
conference, followed by students who have other authorship on a 
conference or related workshop paper.

In order to apply, please go to the Student Travel Funds Application 
form at http://iswc2013.semanticweb.org/content/student-travel-awards 
and submit the form. Also have your advisor e-mail a recommendation to 
iswctravelawards@gmail.com in which he/she states support for your 
application, affirms your status as a full-time student, and indicates 
the maximum extent to which he/she will provide funds for your trip. To 
receive full consideration, both applications and advisor letters must 
be received by August 15th, 2013.
