Student Travel Support Program

Program Details


The Student Travel Support of 2012 MSC 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 registration (or, in rare cases, regular registration). Depending on the number of applications, modest levels of additional support might be available.

Eligible Applicants may apply for the Student Travel Support program or for the Travel Support program for the Developing Countries, but NOT for both programs simultaneously.
