    ELSNET's Fifth European Summer School on Language and Speech Communication

    LEXICON DEVELOPMENT FOR LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING, LEUVEN 14-25 JULY 1997

    !!BURSARIES!! *************

    ELSNET has successfully applied for a TMR (Training and Mobility of Researchers) grant to provide bursaries to participants of the ELSNET summer school (total 30.000 ECU for 1997). Each bursary will cover the cost for travel, accommodation, subsistence and fee. Because this opportunity will allow more people to participate, we have extended the deadline for subscription to the summer school and for the application of bursaries until

    *** MAY 12, 1997 ***

    Conditions ==========

    It is ELSNET's aim to put special emphasis on activities which will ensure equal access to the Information Society for all European citizens and language communities. As a result, applicants from the following categories will be given priority:

    - young researchers from less-favoured regions - young researchers from the smaller and 'less-favoured' language communities - young researchers employed by SME's

    A limited number of grants can be made available for participants not belonging to one of the above categories. In that case, the applicant should motivate in what way his/her participation will contribute to equal access to the Information Society for all European citizens and language communities.

    In addition, applicants should be nationals of an EU Member State or of an Associate State.

    How to proceed ===============

    Please send your application, together with your registration form for the summer school (which can be found at the Summer School Home Page) to the Summer School Secretariat (cf below). It should contain a concise motivation with respect to the conditions given above, plus an estimate of costs to be covered by the bursary, and it should state the applicants' nationality. Participants who already registered for the Summer School can also apply for a grant. In that case, please indicate on your application that registration was already done.

    All applications will be considered by a small committee with representatives from ELSNET, ESCA and EACL. Decisions are expected by May 26, 1997.
