If the proposal is approved, the IEEE Nanotechnology Council may provide upon request a financial contribution to support the initiative. The co-funded amount depends on the available budget, the number of financed proposals and the soundness of the school budget. It is expected that organizers will take advantage of other initiatives, e.g., the IEEE NTC Distinguished Lecture Program to further support the school (related regulations apply). In the future, the summer school funding model will be based on multiple contributions from member societies.
