The Science and Technology Development Fund (STDF) invites proposals for a number of new calls, including:

STDF Support of Scientific Events (STDF-SSE) (No Deadline)
(Conferences, Seminars, Forums, Workshops, Training Schools & Courses)

Grant Description
The STDF Board of Directors has approved the launching of an open new funding mechanism on a competitive basis, to Support of Scientific Events (STDF-SSE), with the aim of providing universities and scientific research institutions with financial support for holding seminars, forums, workshops, training courses & conferences. With this grant, STDF supports both the human resources capacity building and the dissemination of information on science and technology in Egypt, both of which are main components of STDF's mandate.

The funds provided by STDF (up to LE 50 000) for the support of a scientific event are divided into 4 categories, as follows:

1^st Category: with funding of up to 10,000 LE. In this category, the organizer and the host institution of the event are committed to provide a representative of STDF with the time and facilities to make a presentation about STDF's activities during the opening or plenary sessions of the event. Also, STDF's logo and web address will be printed on all publications and promotional material related to the event. STDF will also place a promotional poster in a clearly visible location at the event's venue.

2^nd Category: with funding of 10,000 to 20,000 LE. In this category, STDF will have all the privileges as in the 1st Category, in addition to publishing a one-page coloured advertisement in the main publication, without any costs, issued by the organizing institution in relation to the event (e.g. conference proceedings, workshop recommendations, ... etc.).

3^rd Category: with funding of 20,000 to 30,000 LE. In this category, STDF will have all the privileges as in the 2nd Category, in addition to printing STDF's logo on all the banners and posters of the event.

4^th Category: with funding of 30,000 to 50,000 LE. This category applies only to conferences, workshops and international training schools, of which STDF is a main co-organizer and under restricted conditions. In such events, STDF will have all the privileges described in the 3rd Category.


* In addition to the above 4 funding categories, other proposals which do not fit within the aforementioned categories will be investigated by independent experts, and their recommendation will be presented to STDF's Board of Directors, which will take the final decision.
