IEEE PES 2008 General Meeting Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, July 20-24 2008 Notice: The Application deadline for the Student Support Program has now passed. The application site is now closed. The IEEE General Meeting 2008 organizing committee and the PES Power Engineering Education Committee are happy to announce that there will be both a Student Support Program and a Student Poster Contest at the 2008 GM in Pittsburgh. More information on other activities for students will be posted on the GM 2008 website. Student Support Program At the 2008 General Meeting, we will offer free hotel accommodation to a limited number of students who apply for this support. In case the number of applicants exceeds the number of students we are able to accommodate, there will be prioritization based on (a) whether student is submitting a poster in the student poster contest or has an accepted technical paper; (b) status, i.e., undergrad/grad --- undergraduates receive higher priority; (c) early application; (d) merit of application; (e) support provided by student's advisor. (f) Previous participation in PEEC sponsored programs (g) Number of accepted applicants from any given university. Women, minorities and undergraduates are especially encouraged to apply. In order to be selected for free accommodation it is not essential to have a technical paper accepted at the Conference, or to enter in the Student Poster Contest, but in the event that there are more student applicants than we can support, the applications will be ranked for support. We plan to notify students of acceptance into this program by May 22nd, 2008. Please note that no funds will be available to help with travel costs. Call for Posters Posters are invited for the Student Poster Contest. Posters should be no more than 42" vertical by 46" horizontal and uploaded to the web site in the same format as will be posted at the display. The deadline for submitting posters is May 15, 2008. We look forward to your participation. Feel free to contact Dr. Bill Rosehart if you have any questions.
