The 9th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN 2012, http://ewsn12.disi.unitn.it), with generous donations from the conference sponsors, offers scholarships to support students and researchers to attend the conference.

Funding is available to graduate and doctoral students from any educational institution in the world. Applications from postdocs and researchers from
