Dear National Societies and EURO working groups,

I would be grateful if you could advertise the following Call for NATCOR bursaries to your members. We get great feedback from the students attending the NATCOR courses and we wish to support this important initiative.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks

 

Diane

 

NATCOR (http://www.natcor.ac.uk/), a National Taught Course Centre in Operational Research, delivers taught courses to PhD students, from across Europe, on a number of different topics in OR.  In 2021. it is anticipated that all courses will be offered online, at least until summer, with the potential for residential courses in the UK after that time.

EURO is advertising a competition for bursaries. The NATCOR course fees and accommodation (if applicable) will be funded by EURO for successful candidates. (Typically, accommodation for any residential courses will be for bed and breakfast). Any extra costs incurred will need to be settled personally.

EURO is pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of bursaries for PhD students to attend NATCOR courses. https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1568/natcor-bursaries

Applicants must be PhD students, from one of the EURO member countries or studying in one of the EURO member countries. (see https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1457/current-member-societies). Applicants must have good English Language skills as all NATCOR courses will be in English. Preference will be given to students in their first or second years, but all are welcome to apply. Preference will also be given to applicants who have not previously received support from EURO for NATCOR or other PhD schools.

To apply for a bursary, candidates from a EURO member society country, or studying in a EURO member society country, should submit a zip file containing the application form, their curriculum vitae (including their academic track record), a letter outlining their motivation to attend, and a letter of recommendation from their supervisor to https://www.euro-online.org/awards/natcor2021/registration.php
