Support for Students
The deadline for stipend application has passed.
Thanks to the generous contribution of financial sponsors, we are able to help with travel expenses of student authors. In addition, we may be able to provide stipends to some students and young researchers who would otherwise find it hard to attend the conference. To apply, please ask your PhD supervisor or Department Head to email a brief justification to the General Chair (pkc2013-gc AT ohta-lab.jp) by Jan. 19, 2013.
