We particularly encourage participation of:
* student teams (this includes PhD students)
* non-developer teams / using a tool someone else developed
* several teams using the same tool
TRAVEL GRANTS
The competition has funds for a limited number of travel grants. A grant covers
the incurred travel and accommodation costs up to a certain limit. The
currently-expected limit is EUR 400 for those coming from Europe and EUR 700
for those coming from outside Europe.
We are particularly keen to increase diversity (in all senses) at the
competition, and may take this into account if needing to prioritise travel
grants; regardless, we strongly encourage you to apply if you have a need.
To apply for a travel grant, send an email to
alex.summ...@ubc.ca<mailto:alex.summ...@ubc.ca> and
paula.her...@uni-muenster.de<mailto:paula.her...@uni-muenster.de> by March 3rd,
2024 (or at the latest March 15th). The application should include:
* your name
* your affiliation
* the verification system(s) you plan to use at the competition
* the planned composition of your team (and whether you are developers of
the tools you'll be using)
* a short letter of motivation explaining your involvement with formal
verification so far and/or interest in attending the competition
* if you are a student, please state the academic degree you are seeking
and have your supervisor send a brief letter of support to
alex.summ...@ubc.ca<mailto:alex.summ...@ubc.ca> and
paula.her...@uni-muenster.de<mailto:paula.her...@uni-muenster.de>.
