The event will be held in the Physical Science building at the University of Central Florida. Sessions will run from 9am to 5pm, and tutorials will cover different exciting aspects of current research on molecule-based magnetism, including chemistry, physics and materials science. A detailed program will be posted on the conference website nearer the time. The event will include coffee/refreshment breaks and a group lunch for all participants. Students and postdocs interested in attending the tutorials should send an email request to icmm2012students@gmail.com before June 15th, including “Re:tutorials” in the message subject line. State that you are willing to attend the tutorials. We will send you a confirmation email upon receipt and inform you about the details of the event in due course.
3) Deadline for application for a student fellowship – JUNE 15th
We anticipate making a limited number of fellowships available to graduate students. These fellowships will include a waiver of the registration fee and a monetary contribution to help cover part of the travel and accommodation costs. Fellows will be given the opportunity to present a flash oral presentation of their work during the conference. Applicants must email the following documentation to icmm2012students@gmail.com before June 15th, indicating “Re: ICMM student fellowship” in the message subject line:
• Personal curriculum vitae
• Recommendation letter from immediate research supervisor
• Abstract of the contribution to be presented at the conference (general guidelines for abstract submission apply). Please be sure to submit your abstract online as well; unsuccessful fellowship applications will automatically be selected for poster presentations.
• Students applying for a fellowship must register for the Tutorials (see above).
Applications from students with outstanding results and/or in special need will be given priority during the selection process.
