Online Conference Awards
ELIGIBILITY
- Applicants must be a CIRMMT student supervised by a regular CIRMMT member.
- Applications must be to attend a conference online only. This award cannot be used to supplement travel to a conference.
- Proof of registration and/or acceptance to the conference, as well as a copy of the poster/paper with CIRMMT affiliation clearly noted, and proof of conference fee payment will be required before any refund via expense report will be processed.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
CIRMMT values the participation of students in the life of CIRMMT. While there are those who are more officially involved, such as the student representatives and coordinators, those who contribute to the community through other forms of engagement are also valued, and these involvements will be taken into consideration. Such forms of engagement can include, but are not limited to, participation in demonstrations or the more in-depth organization of a CIRMMT workshop.
- In order to be considered eligible for CIRMMT funding, students are expected to attend:
- EITHER a minimum of 4 out of 6 Distinguished Lectures in the 12 months prior to the application deadline,
- OR a minimum of 3 out of 6 Distinguished Lectures and significantly contribute to the organization of a CIRMMT workshop along with the RA co-leaders, or in a demonstration during specific special events (e.g., tours of CIRMMT/MMR) in the 12 months prior to the application deadline.
- NOTE: In both situations above, ONE Distinguished Lecture can be replaced by attending a live@CIRMMT concert.
- All attendance will be tracked via sign-up sheet for in-person events.
- Event attendance requirements are instated to demonstrate the applicant’s active involvement in CIRMMT activities. If the applicant does not meet these requirements, extenuating circumstances will be reviewed, and proof must be provided.
- Students from universities outside Montreal (U. de Sherbrooke and Université Laval) are exempt from fulfilling the in-person event requirements but are encouraged to attend when possible.
AVAILABLE FUNDING
- While students can apply only to the online conference award, they may get up to a total maximum of $1200 for Travel Awards and Online Conference Awards combined in the same fiscal year.
- Applicants who have not received any funding in the current fiscal year (May 1st-April 30th) will be prioritized.
- However, applications for the online conference award from those who have already received the maximum amount for Travel Awards will be evaluated and reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and depending on what funding remains.
- Please contact us if you have any queries about your eligibility to apply.
APPLICATION DEADLINES
Note that unlike the normal travel award, there is no specific deadline; applications may be submitted at any time.
