Dear all,<br>
<br>
Just a kind reminder: note the revised deadline for the Faculty
scholarship scheme.<br>
It's nice to see that some of you have already sent applications. <br>
<br>
As you apply, can you notify your head of group about your application,
since<br>
I will rely on their input to rank ECS applications.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Luc<br>
