CADE-21 Woody Bledsoe Student Travel Award

CADE-21 Woody Bledsoe Student Travel Award
Call for Nominations

The Woody Bledsoe Student Travel Award was created to honor the memory of Woody Bledsoe, for his contributions to mathematics, artificial intelligence, and automated theorem proving, and for his dedication to students.

The award is intended to enable selected students to attend the International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE) or the International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR), whichever is scheduled for the year, by covering much of their expenses.

In 2007, CADE will take place July 15-20, in Bremen, Germany. The winners of the 2007 Travel Award will be partially reimbursed for their conference registration, transportation, and accommodation expenses. Past awards have varied but have typically been 150 - 600 Euro, depending on the degree of active participation and the distance that needs to be traveled.

Preference will be given to students who will play an active role in the conference, including satellite workshops, and do not have alternative funding. However, also students in other situations are very much encouraged to apply.

A nomination consists of a recommendation letter of up to 300 words from the student's supervisor. Nominations for CADE-21 should be sent by e-mail to

Michael Kohlhase, CADE-21 Conference Chair (m.kohlhase at jacobs-university dot de)

Nominations must arrive no later than June 1 and the winners will be notified by June 10. The awards will be presented at CADE; in case a winner does not attend, the chairs and trustees may transfer the award to another nominee or give no award.
