SIIE 2013 has decided to offer financial support for two emerging
researchers from low GDP European countries to enable their participation.

The  bursary consists of free entry to the SIIE (and social events), a 300

is for PhD students and new researchers within one year of completing their
PhD in order to allow them to participate in SIIE 2013 in Viseu.
