Evaluation and Selection of Bursary Winners:

• A bursary selection panel has been established to review all submission for bursaries as well as those for presentations and workshops.
• Since the bursaries are limited, only outstanding submissions will be short-listed. Those at the top of the short-list will be awarded the first bursaries available. More bursaries will be awarded from the short-list as funds become available for sponsorship of developing country applicants to attend the Conference.
• If your submission for a bursary award is successful, you will be notified and informed about the specific role you are expected to play in the Conference.
• If your submission is short-listed but an award is not available to sponsor your attendance at the Conference, a summarized version of your submission may be posted to our website (subject to your permission) for reference by other IDEAS members. Should you decide to prepare a paper on the subject of your submission, the paper may be published in the Conference proceedings.

Those wishing to prepare papers:

• If your reason for completing this submission is to write a paper on a topic related to the Conference themes, you are welcome to do so. Outstanding submissions that reflect the shifts in the thinking and practice of evaluation for the development advocated by the Conference may be incorporated in relevant sections, or published as part of the Conference proceedings.
• Selection of papers and workshop offers for presentation does not automatically qualify your submission for a bursary award to attend the Conference.
