ACM SIGSPATIAL 2024
Student Travel Awards

The ACM SIGSPATIAL 2024 Conference organizers are excited to announce the 2024 travel awards to help potential attendees with travel and conference costs. The funds for the grants come from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), conference sponsors, and ACM SIGSPATIAL. The link for the application will serve as the central entry point for all travel grant applications for our conference.

Selection Criteria

  • The applicant for the travel grants must be a student (graduate or undergraduate) or an early career researcher (0-3 years since graduation). Applicants can be based in any country, but eligibility varies across funding sources.

  • The travel grants will be based on two sources:

    • NSF Travel Grants: to be eligible, the applicant must be a student (graduate or undergraduate) enrolled at a US University or an early career researcher.
    • ACM SIGSPATIAL Travel Grants: The grants are for all applicants. Limited funding is available. Priority will be given to non-US students or early career researchers and first-time attendees.

  • Priority will be given to student authors and early career researchers with accepted papers at ACM SIGSPATIAL 2024.

  • The recipients must register and attend the full conference.

  • The funding will be used for travel-related support only.
