We strongly encourage young researchers to attend the conference. We will attempt to bring you in contact with students of Istanbul's Universities. Limited travel support will be provided as far as possible. In the old city of Istanbul, there are plenty of cheap hostels and pensions which cannot be booked over the internet, but usually have a bed free (ca. 7 - 10 $ a night). They are safe (even if some business people at the airport tell you tales). There is also an accredited youth hostel just in front of the Hagia Sophia.
