\outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 The International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) has adopted the policy that in non-Congress years it will give support to existing conferences (typically to three conferences per year), with the support used to fund a number of ICIAM Fellowships for participants from developing countries and regions. \
 \
For conferences in 2010 the following principles will govern this support.\
\
Applications for support will be called for on the ICIAM web site at http://www.iciam.org/ in January, 2009. \
 \
Applications should be submitted by email to the ICIAM Secretary, by 2 April, 2009. There is no prescribed form for the application. Applicants should give details of the conference, the organising body, and the plans for the use of ICIAM funds. \
 \
The decision on which conferences to support, if any, will be made by the ICIAM Board at its meeting in May 2009. The Board's decision will be final. \
 \
The level of support for 2010 will be up to USD 3,500 per conference. \
 \
The ICIAM funds are expected to be used to fund a number of "ICIAM Fellowships" for selected delegates from underdeveloped countries and regions. \
 \
The selection of the ICIAM Fellows and the determination of their level of support will be the responsibility of the conference organisers. \
 \
The existence of the ICIAM Fellowships should be advertised under that name on the conference web site, and the support of ICIAM acknowledged in an appropriate way on that web site and in printed materials for the conference. \
 \
Within six months of the end of the Conference a report should be submitted to the ICIAM Treasurer. The report should briefly describe the scientific achievements of the conference, list the ICIAM Fellows and where they travelled from, and indicate the funds expended on each ICIAM Fellow. \
 \
Unexpended funds must be returned to the ICIAM Treasurer. \
 \
Other things being equal, preference will be given to conferences held in developing countries. \
