The Organizing Committee of CDC 2022 is pleased to announce the Student Travel Support, made available by the IEEE Control Systems Society. These funds are meant to enhance the chances of promising students to attend CDC 2022, present their papers and become more integrated into the CSS scientific community. The limited amount of funds available are not reimbursed to the student awardees, but are applied by the conference organizers to (i) conference registration and (ii) partial lodging expenses.
Each applicant:
In order to be eligible for this program, an applicant must be a Student Member of both IEEE and CSS, at the time of the paper submission.
Underrepresented minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities are highly encouraged to apply.
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 will present more than one paper at the conference, have been Student Members of the CSS since one, two, or more years, 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.
The application website opens on July 19 and closes on August 15. After completing the form, your responses from the completed form (sent to you via email) must be saved as a pdf and submitted to Paperplaza as a “Student Travel Support” submission under “Submit a contribution to CDC 2022”.
A letter from each applicant’s advisor is required to complete the application. This letter must be sent via email to Professor Philip E. Paré, Student Activities Chair of the IEEE Control Systems Society. The letter must certify that the applicant is currently enrolled as a student and is planning to attend and present a paper at the CDC 2022, and include a short message of support of the student’s application (less than 10 lines).
Registration for the conference is a requirement of the program. However, do not register until you know if you received the award because you may not be reimbursed (find more details below).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not register until you have received the decision letter where the details of the special registration procedure for Student Travel Awardees will be announced. Please be aware that the registration fee may not be reimbursed in case you have already registered using the standard registration procedure.
