*INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR SCIENTOMETRICS AND INFORMETRICS (ISSI)*

*STUDENT TRAVEL AWARD*

The goal of the International Society for Scientometrics and 
Informetrics (ISSI) Student Travel Award is to facilitate the 
participation of a diverse student population in the meetings of ISSI.

/Eligibility/. At the time of application, the student must be enrolled 
in an academic program.

/Application/. The student should submit a short statement (no more than 
1000 words) detailing their interest in the field and the value they 
anticipate deriving from attendance of the ISSI conference.  The student 
should also submit one letter of recommendation and a current CV/resume. 
Applications should be received at least one year prior to the ISSI 
conference.

/Selection/. Several factors will be taken into consideration in the 
evaluation, focusing primarily on the mutual benefits to be derived for 
both the student and the society as well as the individual merit of the 
student. Geographic diversity will be considered in the selection process.

The evaluation committee will consist of a subcommittee of no more than 
four individuals, with one ISSI Board member serving as Chair. The Board 
will select at least one and no more than three individuals each year, 
depending on the applicant pool, location of the conference, and 
financial resources available.

/Announcement/. Awardees will be notified at least six months prior to 
the ISSI conference, to allow ample time for the student to arrange 
travel accommodations.

/Award/. The award will consist of up to €2000 to cover transportation 
and lodging for the individual. Conference registration and per diem 
will not be provided. Awardees should arrange their own travel and 
provide receipts to ISSI for reimbursement.

/Details for ISSI 2017/: The 16^th ISSI Conference will be held at Wuhan 
University, Wuhan, China from 16 - 20 October, 2017. The travel award 
committee for 2017 will consist of Kevin Boyack (chair), Sybille Hinze, 
Ismael Rafols, and Andrea Scharnhorst. Applications for the 2017 ISSI
