In keeping with SEARCDE's charter, the organizing committee invites graduate students and recent Ph.D. recipients (those having received their degrees within the past three years) to participate in the conference and to apply for financial support (contingent upon availability of funds). To maximize the number of individuals receiving support, all applicants are encouraged to consider economy travel, including double occupancy in hotel rooms and surface travel where feasible. Priority will be given to eligible applicants planning to present a talk at the conference. Also, we strongly encourage women and members of minority and other currently underrepresented groups to participate (and to apply for financial support if otherwise eligible). Prospective participants with disabilities are encouraged to contact us regarding special accommodations that we may be able to provide during the conference.
