The Control Systems Society is repeating an initiative to allow students free attendance at one of the workshops. If you are a Student Member of both the IEEE and the Control Systems Society in the year 2007 and  you are interested in attending one of the workshops offered at the CDC 2007, you can take this possibility for free.

Due to the limited budget, only the first 50 requests will be accepted. Priority will be given to those IEEE CSS students who have already paid for one workshop fee and that will contact the Vice President Member Activities, Prof. Elena Valcher, within the due date of SEPTEMBER 10. In that case, the fee will be refunded at the conference. All other requests received by OCTOBER 15 will be considered based on a first received basis. Students who are not both IEEE and CSS members will not be considered.

If you interested in this initiative please contact Prof. Elena Valcher no later than OCTOBER 15 by sending her an e-mail message at the e-mail address meme@dei.unipd.it. The message should include the following information about you, the IEEE CSS student applicant:

LAST NAME
NAME
IEEE MEMBERSHIP NUMBER
WORKSHOP TITLE
ALTERNATIVE WORKSHOP TITLE *
WORKSHOP FEE ALREADY PAID? (Y/N)

* Since the list of each single workshop participants cannot exceed a maximum number, we may have to resort to your second choice.

The result of your application will be communicated to you no later than OCTOBER 25.
