A limited number of travel assistance grants sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) are available to anyone who is planning to attend the HiPC 2023 conference. Priority will be given to students (based on merit) who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference and who are first-time attendees and/or from underrepresented groups. 

Notice of grants awarded will be made before the conference. The grants will be distributed post-conference as reimbursements against actual expenses submitted by the applicant. Expenses eligible for reimbursement include travel, author registration fees, publication costs, and IEEE memberships. The grant amount will be based in part on the applicant’s travel requirements, quality of paper/poster, and availability of funds. 

Eligibility 

To qualify for a travel assistance grant, an applicant must be:

(1) Author of an accepted paper at HiPC 2023 and be registered for the conference, and 

(2) Member of IEEE Computer Society (or ACM) at the time of submitting an application. 

Applying for the Grant 

To apply for a grant, complete the information requested in the form below. For students, an additional short letter from the advisor showing support for the applicant and stating why they cannot fund the student will be required along with the application. Applicants are encouraged to make their travel plans without depending on notification from the committee to ensure that the lowest-cost flights and accommodations have been secured.
