Nigel asked for how much money we need for DC16 travel. Obviously we (bursaries) will spend whatever we're given, but here are some numbers to help set that budget. I confess the modelling here is full of ridiculous assumptions. Consider the same set of requests as for Heidelberg, and multiply by a somewhat arbitrary inflation factor (based on the difference in cost for travel from Canada). At the current budget (I think nigel said USD17K), we would then predict funding travel for about 16 people. That's roughly 1/3 (both in number of people and in terms of dollar amount) of the requests that we have received so far. I expect there will be more requests as the deadline approaches.
1 2015 based results.
═════════════════════
Here we take the applicants from 2015, and arbitrarily inflate costs
by 1.25. Costs are in EUR. Need and committee rating are just a sample
from that rank. In retrospect the committee was fairly strict in their
evaluations.
You can find an explanation of the rankings used below.
