Woooow.... I am really excited now :)
It is the first time that I want to participate in an international conference. It is the most important in my field. The surprising issue is that today I was informed the congress support me financially by euro 1250!!! And they ask is it enough to me to take place in the conference?!
In fact, I wrote a long letter to them and explain my situation as I have two paper in the conference, There is nobody who participates in the previous years of this conference, the cost of traveling, registering and accomodation is not affordable to a student in a low-income country, and all participating expenses is equivalent to the 6 months Iranian wages!
All my claims was true and they believe me! Finally, somebody believe me to support.
I am here, in a country where I am the youngest one who is in PhD in my field, I got the rank first in the PhD entrance exam... and many thing more...
The dean of graduate studies of my university said to me that in foreign conferences, there are women who have not any hijab!!! Why do you want to go such places?! stay here and write your thesis! Why do you want to present a paper in the foreign countries?! Publish your papers in Persian journals! He said and said... and I actually do not want to remember his nonesenses...
There is a committe in a far away university in the Sweden who dedicate euro 1250 to a PhD student who desire to participate in an international conference! How we can explain the difference?
They are as they in Canadian university which awrd me $19000 scholarship for the first year of studing; the amount of money which I have not gained from starting working -18 years old- up to now -26 years old-
They pay me this money not for working but for studing!!! How can I explain the difference?!
Why should I choose remaining in Iran?????!!!!!
