As you already know, the organising committee of the First Annual Conference of the Spanish Association for Interdisciplinary India Studies "India in Canada, Canada in India: Managing Diversity" has offered fee waivers. It has been a complex process as first, there has been a very large number of applications, and second the world crisis has caused an important financial shortage also affecting our funds to cover fee waivers.
Together with fee waiver applications, we have been kindly suggested to cover local hospitality (accomodation and food expenses) as well, but fee waiver applicants must know that, contrariwise to Indian practice, Conferences in Spain (and also in most European countries) do not cover local hospitality. Thus, only fees can be financially supported by our Association.
This decision has been made consistently with our strong commitment to India. Therefore, it has been our aim to support twelve Indian scholars and students interested in participating in the First Conference organised by the AEEII, providing the greater economical difficulties that Indian colleagues face when visiting European meetings.
Our congratulations to the colleagues who have obtained our fee waiver:
- Gunjeet Aurora
- Saugata Bhaduri
- Paromita Chakravarti
- Anil Dhingra
- Smita Jha
- Simi Malhotra
- Seema Malik
- Masrufa Nusrat
- Seema Kashyapsharma
- Rajiv Saxena
- Vishnupriya Sengupta
- Jayshree Singh
The rest of participants are strongly recommended to make their bank transfer not later than next Friday 24th April, so as to benefit from early bird registration. We also want to remind you of the advantages of becoming a member of the Association. All this information can be found at out website www.aeeii.org
