Hello,

I just came across the PHD scholarship which has been posted on http://scholarship-positions.com/full-scholarship-phd-student-position-in-computer-science/2008/03/19/.

I have M.Sc. in computer science and do a thesis on online handwriting recognition. Is this scholarship still open? Can I apply now?

Thanks
