28th Annual Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry

Thanks to generous support from the National Science Foundation (NSF grant CCF-1751847), there is (limited) travel support for students and postdocs at US institutions to FWCG 2018 (https://www.renyi.hu/conferences/socg18/), which will be held Oct 26-27, 2018, at Queens College in New York. All students and postdocs (at US institutions) are encouraged to apply, but priority will be given to speakers who have no (or limited) other travel funding.
Since support is limited, we anticipate mostly funding of local (shared) accommodations and relatively inexpensive travel. (Registration at FWCG is free.)

To apply for travel support,

• visit and complete the form at this link.
• email to Joe Mitchell (joseph.mitchell@stonybrook.edu) with subject "FWCG 2018 travel support" an up-to-date curriculum vitae that includes your contact information, your current institution, your status as a student or postdoc, the (expected) date of your PhD, and (if you are a student) your adviser's name and contact information.
• if you are a student, your adviser must also send a separate email to Joe Mitchell (joseph.mitchell@stonybrook.edu) confirming your student status, recommending your attendance at CG Week 2018, and describing any other available travel funds. Vague statements such as "funds are tight" are not informative. Each adviser may nominate at most two students for travel support.

Applications and supporting letters should arrive by OCTOBER 8, 2018 for full consideration; late applications will only be considered based on availability of funds. Awardees will be selected and notified by OCTOBER 15, 2018. Applications will be reviewed in consultation with the FWCG program committee.

The requested information will be used to prioritize awards according to the following criteria:

• Speakers presenting at FWCG who do not have other travel support.
• Members of under-represented groups with research interests in computational geometry, whose attendance would broaden participation at the conference.
• Applicants whose statements and supporting information make a particularly compelling case for attending the conference.

Travel awards can be used only to offset transportation and lodging costs; other expenses such as food cannot be reimbursed. Receipts will be required for all covered expenses. All reimbursements will be made after the workshop.
