Sponsorship
Any student or postdoc whose abstract for a poster or talk is accepted may apply for support to attend the conference. Accommodation and national travel will be provided on successful application. Note that there is a limit to the number of students who can be sponsored, so we cannot guarantee that all applicants will be granted support. Only students registered at a South African university for 2017 and residing inside South Africa will be supported.
