  • ISB '97 Footwear Symposium Travel Awards & Research Prizes

    ISB Working Group on Functional Footwear
    THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON FOOTWEAR BIOMECHANICS
    Tokyo, Japan, August 22-23 1997

    ---------------------------------
    TRAVEL AWARDS AND RESEARCH PRIZES
    ---------------------------------

    As previously annouced, the Working Group's next Symposium will be held
    as a satellite meeting of the XVIth ISB Congress in Tokyo Japan, August
    22-23 1997 with a welcome reception on the evening of August.
    The deadline for abstract submissions is March 15, 1997.

    Converse, Adidas America, NIKE and Mizuno have agreed to sponsor the
    Symsposium. The generosity of their contributions makes it possible to
    invite guest speakers to the Symsposium, to offer travel assistance to
    presenters who would otherwise be unable to attend and to minimise
    registration fees. In addition, Adidas America and NIKE, Inc. are
    offering research prizes for the most significant papers in applied
    research and basic research respectively.

    -------------
    Travel Awards
    -------------

    Four travel awards of $500 each are available to assist with the cost of
    travelling to Tokyo for the Symposium and the ISB Congress. Applications
    are invited from those whose expenses would not otherwise be fully
    covered by their academic institution, employer or other sources.
    Priority will be given to researchers presenting their work at the
    Symposium. Research students are encouraged to apply. Informal letters
    of application should accompany abstract submissions and be received by
    the abstract deadline of March 15th 1997. These travel awards are
    intended to assist cases of genuine hardship. Please do not apply if you
    have alternative sources of funding. In the event an award is to be
    offered, potential recipients may be asked for a letter from their
    institution confirming the lack of alternative funding.
