Call for Applications: CPSWeek 2018 Student Travel Grant

The CPSWeek 2018 conference organizers anticipate the availability of student travel/registration support funds to encourage the participation of students in CPSWeek 2018 (cpsweek.org) that would otherwise not be able to attend. Each grant will contribute towards partial or complete reimbursement of registration, travel, and lodging costs, depending on the number of applications. Support could be as high as $1,500 per person, but the actual level will depend on the number of applications received and expenses incurred versus available funds.

Important dates

• Application deadline: March 16, 2018
• Notification of acceptance: March 20, 2018

Eligibility

The award of the travel stipends will be in accordance with the following guidelines:

• The applicant must have a fully-paid student registration for HSCC, ICCPS, IPSN, or RTAS and must physically attend CPSWeek 2018. Note that for all cancellation requests received by March 23, 2018, the full registration fee will be reimbursed. Therefore, if your travel grant application is not successful, you will be able to cancel your registration, if necessary.
• stipends will be awarded on the basis of financial need.
• Students who have already received travel grant from a CPSWeek-related conference or workshop should not apply.
• Reimbursed amount will not exceed actual expenses.
• Special consideration will be given to requests of students from groups and/or institutions that are underrepresented in the field of cyber-physical systems.
• Student authors who are PRESENTERS of papers are allowed, but will be given lower priority, since they should otherwise be expected to attend. Other student authors and non-author students are particularly encouraged.

How to apply

Student applicants should pay the registration fees first and demonstrate their intention to travel to CPSWeek 2018. Applicants should email cps2018@cister-isep.info a CV and a support letter from the advisor describing how the student will benefit from attending CPSWeek. Optionally the applicant can also report gender and/or if she/he belongs to a minority or underrepresented group/institution. Any questions should be addressed to cps2018@cister-isep.info.

Successful applicants will be notified via email and will receive instructions on how to receive partial refunds which will be issued to the person or institution that covered the expenses.
