Students

The Bio-logging 4 steering committee would like to encourage students to present either oral or poster presentations at Bio-logging 4 and are pleased to announce that for the first time, student prizes and a number of travel subsidies for eligible students will be offered at Bio-logging 4!

Eligibility

• Applicants must be a currently enrolled student (either part- or full-time) at a tertiary institution in order to be eligible to apply.
• Applicants must have submitted an abstract for either an oral or poster presentation
• The work presented has to have been done as a research project directed at fulfilling the requirements of the award of a research degree (post-graduate Diploma, Honours, Masters or PhD) within 12 months of thesis submission
• If the work is associated with a thesis that has been submitted and the applicant is no longer enrolled at a tertiary institution, the thesis must have been submitted within 12 months of abstract submission
• Applicants must be first author on the presentation
• Applicants must be identified and vouched for by their supervisors

Student Prizes

Students must submit a student prize application form with their abstracts in order to be eligible for a student prize. This will enable the organising committee for Bio-logging 4 to organise judges to be in the session in which students are presenting.

Late applications will not be considered.

Travel subsidies

A number of travel subsidies valued at AU $1,000 for international students and AU $500 for Australian students will be offered to students attending Bio-logging 4. Students must submit a student travel subsidy application form with their abstracts in order to be eligible for travel subsidies. Please ensure that all components of the form are filled out and it has been signed by your supervisor.

Please note that travel subsidies will not be paid to recipients of other grants awarded for travel to Bio-logging 4 (e.g. University travel grants, project funding in which travel has been specified as a component of the funds awarded).

Travel subsidies will be paid within four weeks of the conference to a nominated bank account (banking details must be provided).

Late applications will not be considered.
