Program Details

The Organizing Committee of CDC 2021 is pleased to announce 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 2021, present their papers and become more integrated into the CSS scientific community. The 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; please click here for more information.

Eligibility and Requirements

Each applicant

2. must be a (student) member of both IEEE and CSS, at the time of the conference registration,
3. must register at the conference (please see the related instructions),
4. must present a paper.

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, will present more than one paper at the conference, have been student members of the CSS since more years, can demonstrate active participation in CSS.
