In a conference registration form I found a slot to be filled having the header "Justification for travel support". I don't quite understand what they are asking precisely. What is the appropriate way to fill this in?
I remark that they ask for resume and research statement in different sections of the registration form for the purpose of attributing funding.
Answer
With some conferences/courses, free or subsidised travel (and even lodging) is provided by the conference organisers and/or sponsors for a certain subset of participants. The eligibility criteria varies - and may include students (undergraduate or postgraduate) or participants from listed developing countries. What I quoted are just examples. For specifics, you should refer to the details stated on the conference website or printed brochure and see if you qualify for such assistance/subsidy (and then decide if you wish to avail yourself of it). If they didn't give these details on the website or publicity materials, it is appropriate to write to them for clarification.
