Requesting RAS Sponsorship

Technical Co-sponsorship Requests

Beginning with applications submitted 1 June 2017 or later, the following policies will apply to all Technically co-Sponsored Conferences:

  • For conference proceedings published in IEEE Xplore, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society will cover the entire publication fee  (US$22 per paper). Alternately, conference organizers are free to publish conference proceedings elsewhere.
  • With the goal of covering RAS’s expenses to support conferences (advertising, marketing, support for conference organizers, Conference Organizer Workshops, etc.), all TECHNICALLY CO-SPONSORED CONFERENCES will be charged an administration fee of USD$700 after the conference has concluded. If the conference is unable to pay the fee, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society will not technically co-sponsor the next edition of the conference.
