Financial Support Opportunity (The application is closed on July 9)
The ICFM5 Secretariat at ICHARM is pleased to announce to you about availability of a modest financial support for a few participants to the conference on a competitive basis. WMO and UNESCO have made available this sponsoring opportunity to enable participants from developing countries to attend the 5th International Conference on Flood Management (ICFM5) to be held in Tokyo, Japan from 27 to 29 September 2011. The support will provide an opportunity for a few participants to bring opportunities, constraints and good practices in flood management in their countries to the attention of a global audience. The support is intended to facilitate discussion at the Conference about various available flood management options for countries with different socio-economic framework conditions.

The basic selection criteria are:
1- This financial support will be provided only to participants with an accepted abstract based on quality of submitted abstracts.
2- In the selection process, the priority will be given to participants with a partial financial support request. In particular, the selection committee is interesting in the application for registration fee waiver only.
3- The selection committee will try to provide financial support for participants with various backgrounds from different climate conditions and geographic zones.
