SCOLARSHIPS
There are 10 scholarships of €100 available to cover the registration fee for the first ten PhD or Master’s students who apply. Applicants must submit an abstract as first author and be prepared to deliver an oral presentation of their results. To ensure fair distribution among the research groups participating in WPD, during the initial allocation phase one scholarship will be assigned per group (based on affiliation: department–university). Any remaining scholarships will then be awarded using the same criterion, according to the order in which applications are received.
