Dear TDWG Supporters

The TDWG Infrastructure Project will provide a total of US$25,000 to support
for members to travel to  <http://www.tdwg.org/conference2007/> TDWG 2007.
The following policy will be strictly applied-

1. Applications can only be considered from current financial members of
TDWG.

2. Some co-funding is a requirement for support from Project funds. The
Project will pay for at least one of 

*	transport costs,  
*	per diem (~US$71/night) or 
*	accommodation,

   but not all three.

3. Priority will be given for presentations on work relating to priority
TDWG Infrastructure Project related areas-

*	Ontology and vocabularies
*	LSIDs
*	TAPIR
*	Documentation, outreach and promotion
*	Work that integrates and structures TDWG activities

NOTE: All oral presentations must be approved by the Session Chair. Please
email the appropriate Session Chair and gain approval before applying for
travel support. Support will also be considered to those presenting posters.

 

4. Priority will also be given to those providing support for the
organization and running of the conference, and for students presenting
posters.
