You can use this form to apply for the
Queer and Trans Mathematicians in Combinatorics Conference (QTMC).
Travel support grants are available in order to encourage participation to the QTMC by partially funding the travel costs for those who would otherwise be unable to attend. Funding is primarily for PhD students, but, depending on fund availability, postdoctoral fellows and early career researchers (10 years from PhD) will also be considered for travel support. This opportunity is possible through a grant from the Fields Institute, AARMS, PIMS, and CMS. Note that awardees will needto pay for their expenses ahead of time and get reimbursed after the conference. Only PhD students, postdocs, and early career researchers are eligible for travel support.
In selecting attendees for travel support, preference will be given to PhD students who and presenting a talk and/or
who are in the early stages of their PhD studies without alternate means of support.
Application Process
Applications for travel support should include a brief cover letter, which gives a brief summary of research interests
and describes the applicant's reason for wanting to attend the conference.
In addition, for a student (or postdoc) application the following is required:
- The student's cv, containing basic information such as degrees earned, current affiliations, relevant coursework and
grades, and any other information the student feels is relevant to support their application. Students should
demonstrate a serious interest in the subject matter of the conference, as evidenced by recent coursework and
projects.
- A supporting letter from the student's advisor. This should be only as long as necessary to convey the relevant
information. It should confirm that the student is a PhD candidate in good standing, describe the research area of the
student. Furthermore, the letter should indicate how the student would benefit from attending the conference and why
the student is in need of a travel grant.
NOTE: The student's cover letter, cv, and any other relevant information must be included in *one PDF file*.
Apart from the cover letter, an application from early career researchers should also include a cv.Important Dates
