Attending the Vienna International Botanical Congress

[Rodman, James E.]

Problem: Getting to the International Botanical Congress in Vienna this
summer
Partial Solution: <http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2004/nsf04035/nsf04035.htm>

Money is tight at NSF, so finding funds to help defray expenses to attend
the International Botanical Congress in Vienna this summer is going to be
hard. One possible route is to conjoin Congress attendance with a workshop
or other gathering that serves to bring U.S. and foreign-country scientists
(ideally, developing-country scientists, not simply Western Europeans)
together to address the goals outlined in the Program Solicitation noted
above, from the U.S. NSF's Office of International Science and Engineering.
        Please contact the INT personnel for further information, after
reading their announcement.
