Everyone - Happy Canada Day, and apologies for the massive multiple posting. Although nothing is yet official, I want prospective applicants to be aware that both the US National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Semantic Web Science Association (SWSA) plan to contribute funds to support participation by full-time students in ISWC 2009. SWSA and NSF anticipate providing 10,000 Euro and $20,000 respectively, with NSF funds being earmarked to support students enrolled at U.S. Universities. We anticipate that the SWSA funds will support 15 awards of 600-800 Euro, and that the NSF funds will support 13 awards of approximately $1500. Confirmation of the funding, as well as details on how to apply will be found at http://iswc2009.semanticweb.org/wiki/index.php/ISWC_2009_Student_Fellowships. Last year's student fellows made significant contributions to the conference, and we look forward to this year's fellows being similarly engaged. 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 workshop paper. Applications are due August 21, with notification of success by Sept. 7. Questions should be directed to iswc09_fellowships@cs.umbc.edu .
