Dear colleagues,

The Belief functions and Applications Society (http://bfas.iut-lannion.fr/) is offering a number of grants to allow students with limited funding opportunities to present their work at the 5th International Conference on Belief Functions (BELIEF 2018). The grants cover the registration fees. The BELIEF 2018 conference will take place in Compiègne, France, on September 17-21, 2018, in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS 2018).

The current paper submission deadline is March 15, 2018. Authors of accepted papers will be notified on April 30, 2018. The deadline of the grant application is May 15, 2018. Candidates should send the following information:

• CV

The International Journal of Approximate Reasoning (IJAR) will also offer best paper awards (with a prize of 1000 € for each conference) to students and early career researchers (who defended their PhD less than 2 years before the conference). The award ceremony will take place during the conference.’
