Very important additional information!

Sophia Centre Grant: A grant of 450 euros, or equivalent in pounds sterling, will be offered by The Sophia Centre for the Study of Cosmology in Culture, the University of Wales, Lampeter, to a scholar working in cultural astronomy. The grant is to cover the registration fee of 200 euros plus 250 euros towards travel and subsistence.

Applicants should be postgraduate students working on either a Masters or a PhD degree on a subject in some aspect of astronomy in culture, including ethnographic and archaeoastronomical studies, or must have completed such a degree no earlier than 2005. However, we will also consider independent scholars who can demonstrate a track-record in the field, such as previous publication. The grant will be presented upon registration at the conference.

The process of selection will be under the responsibility of the Vice-President Elect of SEAC Prof. Mary Blomberg (mary@mikrob.com), to whom applications, including a brief biography and an abstract of 600 words plus bibliography should be sent.
The closing date is 15 April 2008.
