Funding Issues Spin FestTransportationAccommodationPer Diem 2011Own InstitutesRIKEN 2012Own Institutes 8 In the past, RBRC supported some student’s travel when the spin fest was held in BNL. This won’t apply to the spin fest in NM (neither BNL nor RIKEN). However, let the organizers know if you have difficulty in getting funding for your student’s travel cost. Organizers will find out what we can do. Attendee’s Cost Coverage
