Requests for financial support
Support is generally conditional on a presentation which should be submitted in the usual way (see Abstracts) but is not limited to students.
Limited financial support will be offered to students being the first author or a nominated author of an accepted talk or poster. The precise amount granted will depend on the number of students subsidized and the amount of money available. Further details can be found on the abstract submission form.
Additionally, a limited number of grants are available to members who are from Eastern Europe and other countries where there are financial constraints to travel. Members seeking this support must send an additional travel grant application to the Conference Organizers at ecs2010(at)meeresmuseum.de no later than 13.11.2009.

Student volunteers

This could be the registration of participants, giving information to an enquirer, looking after sales or passing microphones during sessions. Volunteers will spend approximately 1/3 of the conference time helping out and in return receive free registration to the conference and free dancing. Students who are interested or want more information, please contact Polona Kotnjek, polona.kotnjek(at)gmail.com .
Student Awards
At this conference the best graduate and undergraduate student oral and poster presentations will again have the opportunity to win an award. To qualify, students must be the first authors of their paper. For further details please see the abstract submission form.
