Transport:
We aim to offer the accepted participants based at European Universities (including Russia) a transport grant of around 130 Euro. Please, note that this is not a confirmed amount and may vary. Unfortunately, due to the restricted budget, we are not able to offer grants to participants who are based at non-European universities. Participants are encouraged to seek financial support from their own universities.

*PLEASE NOTE: Participants who wish to receive a grant will have to send their ticket and/or receipt by September 1st.

Presentations and Papers
All successful applicants will be expected to give a 30 minute presentation (20 minutes presentation + 10 minutes Q&A) and will have to submit their full paper (5-7 pages) by September 15th.

At the KSGSC’s AGM in 2015 it was decided that the KSGSC would accept applications and presentations in both English and Korean from 2016 onwards. We ask all applicants who wish to submit an abstract in Korean for a presentation in Korean to also submit a translation of their abstract in English as well as the Korean original. We do not expect Korean language paper submissions to also offer an English translation of their entire paper, though we at the KSGSC would certainly welcome them.

You will be sent a confirmation that your application has been received. If you do not receive a confirmation within 5 days after you sent it, please, send your application over again.

Application Period
The deadline for applications is May 31st, 2017.
We will contact all applicants at the middle of June regarding the acceptance of their application.

Cancelling Your Participation
We would like to receive applications only from those who are definitely able to attend the convention. Please, bear in mind that applicants who confirm and then later cancel their participation potentially deprive others of the chance of attending and lead to waste of KSGSC resources.
*Please, note that any participants who cancel after August 15th may be liable to pay the hotel expenses and may be restricted from attending future KSGSC conferences.
