SWS travel grants
The Society of Wetland Scientists offers travel awards to international wetland scientists (i.e., those from countries other than US and Canada) to help defray the expense of their attending the SWS meetings. From 5-10 June 2005, the 26th International Wetlands Meeting ('Coastal Plain Wetlands: Ecological, Landscape, and Regulatory Transformations') will be held in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. I am chairing the International Travel Awards Committee and would like to request your help in spreading the word to international wetland scientists that they are welcome to apply for the travel award (includes registration fee and up to $1500 in travel expenses).
More information, including eligibility requirements and application form, is available on the SWS Web site (http://www.sws.org/charleston2005/international.htm). The deadline for applications is December 15, 2004. Jim Perry, Chair, International
Travel Awards Committee (jperry@vims.edu)
