IARCS travel grants
IARCS home > ACTIVITIES > Grants
Since 2003-2004, IARCS has made available grants for partial support to travel to conferences and other academic meetings in all areas of Computing Science, both in India and abroad.
From 2008-2010, these grants were sponsored by a generous contribution from Geodesic Information Systems Ltd.
Eligibility
To apply for a grant, you have to be affiliated as a student or a faculty member to an academic institution based in India.
Grants are available to support travel to an academic conference outside the country. The support can be used to cover travel costs and conference registration fees.
Note:
- IARCS travel grants are intended for work directly
related to computing science. We are not in a position to
support applications in other subjects, even if it involves
computational or numerical work.
- IARCS grants are normally restricted to Rs 30,000
(max Rs 50,000).
- IARCS does not provide direct grants to individuals for
events held within India. For events in India, the organizers
should contact IARCS for institutional support.
- IARCS does not provide support for travel or local
expenses for internships and other long-term visits.
