SIGCHI Gary Marsden Travel Awards
The Gary Marsden Travel Awards support undergraduate and graduate students, early-career researchers (such as those who are ≤ 5 years post-graduation), and those suffering from financial hardship or lacking institutional support, in attending ACM SIGCHI conferences. Please see our call for applications for specific eligibility criteria, details of the award, and review timelines. Submit your application at this link.
There are seven deadlines: the 9th of January, February, March, May, July, September, and November at 11:59 PM AoE. In case of extensions, the new deadline will be noted on the application website. You must apply to a deadline that occurs more than one month prior to the start of the conference that you plan to attend (we recommend applying as soon as you have your conference acceptance). For transparency, award recipients and distribution of awards across conferences will be announced periodically on the SIGCHI website. Please email sigchi-4all@acm.org with any questions about GMTA or fixes/feedback for the application form.
IEEE RAS IDEA Travel Support
The IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) Women in Engineering (WiE) committee launched a new initiative in 2023 to support people interested in the research field of robotics and automation. Their goal is to increase diversity in our community by facilitating access to underrepresented groups to attend one of the major IEEE RAS conferences.
This award will cover registration, travel costs and accommodation of up to USD$3300 to attend one conference of your preference (either fully-sponsored, or co-sponsored by RAS). In particular, IDEA will provide travel support for attending HRI2025. More info available at this link.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact ieee-ras-wie@ieee.org.
