Conference Grants and Awards

ICST encourages the practice of assisting and rewarding distinguished conference participants, organizers, authors and volunteers through a variety of different types of grants and awards. ICST’s rewarding instruments are distributed to acknowledge contributions to the organizational process of its activities as well as to facilitate the participation of society members with limited funding opportunities at ICST sponsored events. The most typical contributions that receive formal recognition at ICST events in the form of conference awards include best papers and best student papers. Conference grants are distributed to individuals who have applied for financial assistance to cover the occurring expenses of their travelling and accommodation arrangements with regard to their participation at ICST events.

ICST commits to maximize the level of such rewarding mechanisms and instruments at each activity it sponsors in accordance with the official organizational procedures. ICST generates the funding for the majority of the grants and awards provided at its events and it regularly partners with industries, businesses, corporations and government agencies to provide additional funding for conference organizers and contributors. ICST makes specific efforts to encourage and facilitate student participation at its conferences and workshops. Application procedures are available for students who would like to receive financial assistance to attend ICST events or are interested in contributing to the organizational process of these events by serving as on-site conference volunteers.
