On April 27th the Local organizing committee (LOC) made the decision about the recipients of partial financial support to attend the 17th Castle meeting and adjacent short course on the use of magnetic susceptibility in Earth Sciences.
There were 8 valid applications for the announced call for support. The LOC decided that all of them will get some degree of support, as all of applicants really deserve it, due to their significant scientific background and especially their expressed motivation to attend the course and improve their knowledge about magnetic susceptibility in Earth Sciences.
When making a decision, besides their scientific background, we paid special attention to local situation in country of applicant (e.g. war in Ukraine, etc.).
