Student Travel Support

Program Details

The Student Travel Support of MSC 2015 is meant to enable promising students to attend the conference, present their papers and become more integrated into their scientific community. IEEE Control Systems Society funds will be used to cover student (or regular, in rare cases) registration. Depending on the number of applications, modest levels of additional support might be available.

Eligibility and Requirements

In order to be eligible, applicants

  • Must be an author or co-author of (at least) one paper accepted for presentation at MSC 2015 ;
  • Must present at least one of the accepted papers;
  • Must be a student member of both IEEE and CSS at the time of the application.

In case the number of applicants exceeds the budget, additional criteria will be used to make a selection among the applicants. These additional criteria, in decreasing order of importance, prefer

  • Applicants who have not benefited from this scheme in the last two years.
  • Applicants who will present more than one paper at the conference.
  • Applicants who can demonstrate active participation in CSS.

In addition, the selection committee may decide to limit awards where more than one presenter from the same institution would otherwise be offered an award to attend the same conference.

  • Step 1: Select "Submit a paper or session proposal for the MSC 2015"
