What the program covered
IEEE CIS offered a limited number of travel grants to students and to professional researchers who were presenting one or more papers at a CIS sponsored conference. CIG 2017 used a single application system for both groups.
The grant was intended to reduce the cost of attending and presenting. Applicants had to be IEEE CIS members for the application to be processed.
Who could apply
Students could apply from any country, at undergraduate or graduate level. Professional researchers were eligible if they were based in a developing country and were presenting accepted work at the conference.
Student applications required proof of university attendance, a recommendation from a supervising professor, and a statement of the student's contribution to the paper. Professional applications required a contribution letter and a funding justification explaining why the registration fee would create an economic hardship.
