Travel Grants
The IEEE Computational Intelligence
Society (IEEE CIS) will offer a limited number of Travel Grants for
- Students (undergraduate or
graduate students, from any country)
- Professional
Researchers from Developing Countries
who are presenting one or more
papers at IEEE CIS-sponsored conferences. One application system will be used
for both students and professionals.
Requirements
for Students:
- Membership of IEEE
(join
IEEE here)
- Membership of IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society (join
IEEE CIS here). Note that IEEE CIS is listed as an optional
society membership under IEEE).
- A “Proof of
University Attendance” on university letterhead certifying that the
student carries at least 50% of a normal full-time academic program as a
registered undergraduate or graduate student in a regular course of study.
- A “Recommendation
Letter” from the student's supervising professor on university
letterhead that the student is the major contributor to the paper and
approximately what was the student's contribution in percent to the paper.
Please include for each paper, the ID number as given by the conference

paper, no letter is needed.

Requirements
for Professionals from Developing Countries
- Be a higher-grade
member of IEEE and IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (join

- Be the author or
co-author of an accepted paper in the conference, actually attend the
conference and present the paper.
- A “Contribution
Letter” confirming that you have contributed to at least 50% of the
