                  (Some Student Grants Available!)

A Doctoral Programme will be organized as part of the CICM'08:
Conferences on Intelligent Computer Mathematics in Birmingham.

The CICM'08 Doctoral Programme will enable graduate students to
discuss and present their research and ideas, and gain feedback from
respected researchers within the areas of Mathematics, Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence. It will also promote contacts
between participating students and provide information on careers
opportunities in academia, research and industry. Moreover, tutorials
from experienced researchers are planned as well as a social
programme including some sports event.

Some financial support for travel and attendance are available to
support some students attending CICM'08 and its Doctoral Programme.
