We are pleased to announce the availability of travel grants to attend PerCom
2020 and co-located events (Workshops, Ph.D. Forum, WiP, Poster, Demo sessions,
etc.) to be held in Austin, Texas on March 23-27, 2019. Underrepresented
minority and women students from diverse institutions are particularly
encouraged to apply.
To apply for this travel support, please do the following:
1. Obtain a letter of support from your advisor/professor stating:
* that you are currently a student in good standing working on research
in areas related to pervasive computing;
* the institution, including country, at which you are currently
enrolled;
* that you will be attending the entire PerCom conference (including
workshops, if appropriate); and
* how any travel or attendance costs associated with attending PerCom
that are not covered by the travel grant will be covered otherwise.
2. Write a short personal statement describing your research interests and
how you intend to benefit from attending PerCom 2020. Please also include your
student status (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, how far from graduation, etc.),
whether you have a contribution in the PerCom conference or a co-located event,
what your IEEE member number is, and the location from which you will travel to
the conference.
3. Submit both of these, along with a two page CV via
EDAS<https://edas.info/G.php?g=647> before January 31, 2020.
Please note that the PerCom conference will likely not be able to reimburse you
for all of your travel expenses due to limited budget. Eligible expenses for
reimbursement include conference registration, hotel, and travel (air, car, or
train). Expenses that are not eligible for reimbursement include meals and
local transportation (taxis, shuttles, parking, etc.).
Student travel grants are available in the form of reimbursements that are sent
only after the completion of the conference and receipt of all required
documentation and receipts. Recipients of travel grants will be required to
check in daily at the conference as proof of attendance.
A few grants will be awarded, and the amount of each grant is anticipated to be
between US$500 and US$1000 (depending on number of applications). For any
questions, please contact the IEEE PerCom 2020 General Chair, Christine Julien
([email protected]).
Funding for travel grants for non-US based students has been provided by the
IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing
(TCPP<http://www.computer.org/portal/web/TCPP/home>) and the IEEE Computer
Society Technical Committee on Computer Communications
(TCCC<http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tccc/home>).
