Doctoral Student Scholarships for
2008 Vespucci Summer Institute on Geographic Information Science
Fiesole (near Florence), Italy, June 09-20 2008
The IGERT
Program in Geographic Information Science at the University at Buffalo
invites applications from U.S. doctoral students for support to attend the
2008 Vespucci Summer Institute on Geographic Information Science in Fiesole
(near Florence), Italy. This year, funding will be
available for either Week 1 (June 9-13) or Week 2 (June 17-20) of the 2008
School. The topic of Week 1 will be "Geo-Sensor Web" and the topic of Week 2
will be "GI Science supporting Virtual Globes". For more information about
the 2008 Vespucci program, go to
http://www.vespucci.org, click on "Summer Institute", and then explore
the information about the program.
We
anticipate funding about 6 applicants under this competition. The selected
doctoral students will join a group of University at Buffalo
IGERT Geographic Information Science doctoral trainees at the Summer
Institute. Scholarships from the Buffalo IGERT program are limited to US
Citizens or Permanent Residents.
Financial support will include accommodation expenses in Fiesole, some
meals, tuition and fees for the Institute, and up to $1700 in travel
expenses. Those selected to be funded by the Buffalo IGERT program will
automatically be enrolled in the Institute and the fees will be paid
directly by Buffalo. Those who wish to attend the Summer Institute without
such IGERT support are encouraged to apply directly to the Vespucci
program for admission, although they will have to pay their own fees and
other costs.
