Travel Grants

OVERVIEW

To increase the diversity of meeting participants and facilitate participants from eligible emerging or developing countries who are unable to raise the necessary funds to attend The 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems (ICORIS), limited funding is available to subsidize the travel and accommodation costs on a need basis.

These travel grants are given to 5 awardees.

All awardees will receive a grant amounting to USD 350
