IEEE CSS Student Travel Support Program

Program Details
The Organizing Committee of CCTA 2023 is pleased to announce the Student Travel Support, made available by the IEEE Control Systems Society. These funds are meant to enhance the chances of promising students to attend CCTA 2023, present their papers and become more integrated into the CSS scientific community. The limited amount of funds available are not reimbursed to the student awardees, but are applied by the conference organizers to (i) conference registration and (ii) lodging expenses.
