IEEE NNS 2002 Student Travel Grant Recipients

The Committee on IEEE NNS Student Travel Grants provided recommendations for those students receiving this year's IEEE NNS Student Travel Grants. We received many applications and our budget was limited. The students that are eligible for support are shown in the list which follows. If your name is not on this list, you did not receive an award.

To receive the travel grant, recipients must:

  • Check in at the IEEE NNS Student Travel Grant table at the conference. Hours are posted below next to the respective conference. Note: This is NOT the same as registering for the conference.
  • Bring your IEEE membership card when you check in. If you have a not received you membership card, a letter of confimation from IEEE member services will be satisfactory. IEEE membership must be confirmed before the travel grant can be processed. It is your responsibility to provide proof of membership at the time of check-in.
  • Attend the conference and present your paper.

We thank the IEEE Neural Networks Society for supporting the student travel grant program. This program is an investment in the future of computational intelligence areas represented at all IEEE NNS sponsored conferences. We are really sorry we are not able to award grants to all who applied. We are looking forward to seeing you all at the conference.

IEEE NNS Student Travel Grant Selection Committee

 

Dear Student Grant Winner:

Congratulations on being chosen to receive an IEEE NNS student travel grant for the 2002 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence. To facilitate processing your grant, which includes $150 of reimbursement for your registration and also five hotel nights in the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel to be shared with another student award winner, please let Dr. David Fogel (dfogel@natural-selection.com) know the following information in one email:

  1. Your complete name, address, tel/fax, and email.
  2. Your WCCI registration number. If you have not registered, you will need to register as the grants are not offered for students who have not registered. Please go to http://www.wcci2002.org and complete your registration online if you have not registered in order to receive your WCCI number.
  3. The dates of your arrival and departure at the hotel.
  4. Your gender. Students will be paired with others of the same gender.
  5. Any special considerations for your room, such as a non-smoking room. I cannot ensure that such considerations can be honored, but I will do my best to meet them.

There is no need for you to contact the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel directly, and in fact this will only confuse matters. I will coordinate your reservation personally, working with the hotel staff. If you have already made a reservation at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, please let me know the confirmation number that you received so that I can coordinate the transfer of your reservation to the rooms covered under your student grant. The hotel portion of the grant is not transferable to any other hotel, nor can it be used for any other purpose.

I look forward to receiving your information and seeing you at WCCI2002 in a few short weeks.

Sincerely,
David Fogel, General Chair, WCCI2002
email: dfogel@natural-selection.com

If for some reason, you do not wish to accept the travel grant as is, please notify Slawo Wesolkowski as soon as possible so that other students may have the chance of accepting the grant and attending the conference.

175 email applications were received. 168 paper applications were received.
Possible reasons for not getting a travel grant:

  • award winner in a previous year or multiple years
  • application received after deadline
  • application incomplete (no US tax form, US tax form not signed, no email application or no paper application)
  • 50% paper contribution criteria not met
  • low score (thresholds: IJCNN - "weak accept", CEC - "accept", FUZZ - "weak reject")

Each conference was awarded a proportional number of grants (to the overall number of papers) and so all complete student grant applications for FUZZ-IEEE (except those who fell into one of the above categories) were accepted while some for IJCNN or CEC had to be rejected. In the vast majority, rejections were due to the first four criteria.
