Travel Grants


* The deadline of travel grant application (Feb. 20, 2008) has passed. No further application will be accepted.

ICDCS would like to encourage graduate student and junior faculty participation at ICDCS and at its affiliated workshops by partially or fully funding the travel and registration costs of individuals who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. We offer students and junior faculty and postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to apply for travel grants. No more than one author per conference paper will be given an award. We expect to fund approximately 30 travel grants, ranging from $500 to $1,000 each.

Grants are supported by the National Science Foundation and IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Distributed Processing (TCDP). Grants funded by the National Science foundation are available to those from US schools only.

Eligibility Requirements

Any graduate student, junior faculty member or a postdoctoral researcher may apply.  Priority will be given to those who are a co-author of a regular ICDCS paper.  Any recipient of a travel grant must register with a full-fee paid registration to the conference.
