Financial Support Justification for Early-Stage Researchers
The ICHEP conference series has established itself as one the most important events for high energy physicists. Therefore, it is essential that early-stage researchers (like myself, PhD graduated in 2009) will not miss out due to financial difficulties. In Taiwan, funding for postdoc travel has a fixed limit regardless of the destination. As a result, overseas travels are often limited to local Asian areas only. Besides, the weakness of TWD compare to AUD means that there is an extra burden on any costs. Hence, I believe that support in the form of a waived or reduced registration fee would be very helpful given the large amount of spending expected elsewhere for such a distant trip already.
