Student Travel Support
We are delighted to announce funding for student travel support. The purpose is to enable graduate students to travel and participate in the conference. To be eligible, you must:
- be registered as a full-time student at a higher education institution (e.g. University); AND
- be explicitly listed as an author of a paper accepted for AAMAS-14 (full | extended abstract | workshop).
The order of priority for awards is as follows:
- students presenting a full paper accepted at the main conference
- students presenting a paper in the Blue Sky Ideas Track
- students presenting at the doctoral consortium
- students presenting posters at the main conference
- students presenting at workshops
To the extent that funds allow, we also hope to support students whose research will benefit from attendance at the conference.
We anticipate different levels of funding based on geographic location (distance to conference venue, underrepresented regions), level of participation, and so on, covering most of the travel costs. We particularly encourage student scholarship applications from underrepresented regions.
Application
The application form for student scholarship is now closed.
You will need to provide your participation details for AAMAS-14 as well as a pdf with a scanned student ID card certifying you are registered as a full-time student.
Please note that participation in the student scholarship program carries with it an obligation to be a student volunteer during the conference and, in the case of US applicants, to participate in the doctoral mentoring consortium .
Student volunteers are often used to provide support in the various conference rooms in case of problems (e.g., projector failure, etc).
Please submit your application by January 29, 2014 (11:59pm, Hawaii time) via the web form shown above.
We will notify you of the decision on your application by March 11 (this has been postponed because not all sponsors have confirmed yet, and because of a change in the early registration deadline).
