2. An abstract of your conference paper, or a half-page statement explaining the nature and purpose of your travel.
3. If you are attending a conference, a copy of the acceptance letter or invitation letter.

The award will be processed after travel is completed. Recipients will be informed about the necessary procedures for reimbursement.
