The total amount provided by Springer for these scholarships is 1500 Euros (presently 1800 USD). The amount that will be allocated to the selected recipients will depend upon the number of scholarships that will be given.
The scholarships will be paid directly to the International CCN Society (ICCNS) as a participation to the meeting registration fees of the selected individuals.
Travel expenses are not covered by the scholarships.
