2019 DOCTORAL SEMINAR PRESENTATIONS

摘要

This year the James R. Webb ARES Foundation will be financially supporting a record number of doctoral students. We will be funding 45 doctoral students from 14 different countries with another nine students paying their own way to participate in the doctoral sessions on Saturday. There are several other doctoral students that will be on the main program and plan to use their once in a lifetime travel stipend later. One of the self-funded students is studying at an American university. There are eight additional self-funded students that are presenting, six from Germany, one from Austria and one from Sweden. In addition, we had seven students that applied but were not funded this year because they were not far enough along in their research. This program is a once in a lifetime program, so we are encouraging students to apply as they are completing their programs. In most cases, the students that we are funding will be completing their degrees within the next 18-24 months. In all, we had 66 applicants. As of this writing, five accepted students have cancelled.
