Awards to support student participation. The International Federation of Palynological Societies (IFPS) has agreed to support student participation at the upcoming IPC-XIV to be held in Salvador, Brazil, in October 2016. Funding will be awarded to Master and Ph.D. students presenting palynological results at IPC-XIV (oral or poster) and which are members of one of the IFPS affiliated societies. The IFPS board will review and evaluate all applications according to the quality of the submitted abstracts and the scientific merits of the candidates. Thus IFPS intends to sponsor approximately 20 students with a $500 (US dollars) contribution towards the cost of attending the conference. Students wishing to apply should e-mail (preferably as a pdf) a covering letter (no more than one page), a short-CV (maximum one page) along with their talk/poster abstract to James B.
Riding (IFPS Secretary-Treasurer: jbri@bgs.ac.uk). The covering letter should briefly explain which IFPS affiliated organisation
the student is a member of, other sources of funding for conference attendance (secured or being sought), and why the additional funding is necessary. Personal presence at the IPC-XIV is a prerequesite, as awards will be presented at the conference only. Applications should arrive before April 30, 2016
