Conference Travel Grants

There are two types of Conference Travel Grants:

  • IEEE CIS Outstanding Student-Paper Travel Grants
    The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Student Travel Grant Program offers a limited number of travel grants to assist IEEE Student Members presenting papers at IEEE CIS sponsored conferences.
  • IEEE CIS Conference Travel Grant Program for Researchers from Developing Countries
    These very limited number of travel grants are used to assist higher-grade IEEE Members presenting papers at IEEE CIS sponsored conferences.

This year a total of seven major conferences are currently covered by this program. Conferences for 2008 include and are restricted to:

To receive a grant the recipient must

  1. Be a member of IEEE and IEEE Computational Intelligence Society prior to submitting travel grant application.
  2. Be the author or co-author of an accepted paper in the conference and actually attend the conference and present the paper.
  3. Must have contributed to at least 50% of the research presented.
  4. Attend the conference to present the paper.
  5. Be a student (or have been at the time of paper submission deadline) and carry at least 50% of a normal full-time academic program as a registered undergraduate or graduate student in a regular course of study.

Note: Only one student author per paper will be awarded a travel grant and a student can receive only one grant per year.
