Travel Grants to CASE 2016 available for researchers from Developing Countries. Apply Now!

The IEEE CASE Broadening Participation Travel Grants program is an outreach effort to broaden the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) community by enabling participation at the 2016 IEEE Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE) by RAS members who would otherwise not be able to attend. In particular, this program is for non-author faculty and post-doctoral researchers from developing countries ( as defined by the IEEE) and by non-author students who are not yet fully engaged in RAS.

CASE 2016 will be held in Fort Worth, TX USA from 21-24  August 2016 at the The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel

Travel awards will cover conference registration and partial reimbursement for lodging and travel. Reimbursements will be processed after attendance at CASE 2016.

The application deadline is 22 July 2016. We expect award decisions to be made within one week.
