I am a Final Year BTech Mechanical Engineering student from one of the leading engineering institutes (VJTI) in Mumbai. I am very interested in doing research and it's my passion. I have worked during my BTech degree on several interesting problems and as a result of my hardwork and researching skills, I could present my research paper on that topic at one International Conference held at IIT Indore. For my one year long BTech project, I started working on a problem under Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) and the results we obtained in its first phase were again accepted band published in an International Conference held here in Mumbai. Now fortunately, as a fruit of my efforts, our another research paper on latest results have been accepted at International Conference in Nonlinear Solid Mechanics (ICoNSoM 2019) to be held in Rome, Italy during June first week.

I have had opportunity to present my research at International conferences here in India but this is a big opportunity for me to get an international exposure.

Unfortunately though, my Institute's policy provides full funding only to PhD students and faculties when it comes to International Conferences. I being an undergraduate student, can get only 50 Euros of funding as per the rules of the university. Lack of funds for research in developing countries is the biggest hindrance for aspiring researchers like me, it becomes next to impossible for students like me to cover all the expenses(registration fees, travel and accommodation) of this conference.

This is the first time that my research is being recognized by a truly International Conference away from my home country and I am very elated, and I would not like to miss this opportunity for anything.

 I have also requested the organizers to give me some discount in the registration fees(500 Euros) because of lack of funding for students like me. The organizers were generous and gave me financial support of 250 Euros.

So now I have registration fees of 250 Euros, travel expenses arround 500 Euros and stay ~ 200 Euros.   Any help would be appreciated, as I will only be able to cover my stay (~200 Euros) with some help from my facilities.

Please help me raise funds foe this purpose. It is going to be very special for me abd my research to be able to present my work at such platform. With organizers themselves giving a helping hand to promote young researchers like me with reduced registration fees, I would be blessed if you could help me too.

Thank you.
Hoping for funds before Jun 2019.
