<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Sirs,</div><div><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Garland Chow who is the Associate Professor of the Supply Chain Management Sauder School of Business, the University of British Columbia has suggested I contact you. <br>
<br>IFPSM is a membership association which is made up of purchasing and supply chain associations from around the world. Each year we hold an IFPSM Summer School and this year it is taking place on 30 June - 5 July at the University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands. I attach details of the IFPSM Summer School and I would be grateful if yo</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">u could circulate and promote this to your various academic partner</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">s, on your website and in newsletters and electronic magazines.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The costs of the event are small for a 5 day event but unfortunately a challenge to students. I would be grateful if you could both play a part in identifying the right applicants and making attendance a feasibility by sponsoring or arranging some form of sponsorship of some of the costs. This will ensure the continued quality of the event, and that the breadth of student participation can continue to grow. The actual cost of attendance is €700 (+ VAT) for a very high quality 5 day event. This includes 5 nights accommodation and dining as well as all materials. The only other cost is travel. <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">IFPSM</font> is actively building depth in the relationship with the graduates of the <font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,204)">School</font> and anything that you can do to make the event a reality for a deserving PhD student would be very helpful. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">IFPSM would be very grateful if you could support this venture to e</span><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">nsure that it continues to provide an excellent opportunity to some of the best PhD candidates from around the world. <br>
