Submission deadline extension

Supports for students

We probably will have some support from Jaynes fundation to support a few faculty and post-docs and a greater number of Ph.D. students to come and present their work. The selection will be based mainly on the quality of the submissions and reserved for those who cannot really obtain support elsewhere. These supports may be partially to permit more students to come.
