The organisers of the 4ecm will award grants of either partial or full support to people wishing to attend the Congress. The aim of these grants is to promote the participation of young researchers in mathematics, with special attention to their professional situation and their country of origin.

Financial support will be offered in the following ways:

1. Grants up to 2,000 SEK covering the registration fee.
2. Grants up to 2,100 SEK covering accommodation expenses at university residences.
3. Grants up to 3,000 SEK for travel expenses.

Mathematicians from Stockholm area can only apply for type A grants. Mathematicians working in Sweden but outside Stockholm area can apply for type A and/or type B grants. Mathematicians working abroad can apply for all types.

The deadline for grant applications is February 29, 2004. We regret that requests submitted after this date cannot be considered by the Organizing Committee. All applicants will be informed on acceptance on March 22, 2004. Grant holders should confirm their registration before April 1, 2004.

The registration fees for those having obtained type A grants will be paid by the organisers. Type B and C grants will be paid to their holders on arrival at the Congress.
