The objective of IUI's student support is to encourage students interested in subjects related to
Intelligent User Interfaces to become active members of the IUI community. To apply, the student
should be actively enrolled as a student in an academic institution. Priority will be given to
students who are first authors of accepted papers and to participants in the doctoral consortium, to
minorities and woman. Recipients of the stipend are also expected to help the conference
organization as student volunteers. The level of support will be determined by the availability of
funds and the number of eligible applications.
IUI chairs will decide about the allocation of the sources of support to students that will be
eligible for travelling grants (there are some differences between the sources and what is required
from the students – see below).
The application should include:
- Full name
- Email address
- The school you are attending, your major, and the country in which the school resides
If you will present at the conference, please provide the title of the submission and its type
(e.g., research paper, student consortium, demo). Please note if you have submitted but have not found out if your submission has been accepted
- A short statement describing your research interests and how you wish to benefit from attending
IUI 2020, and the name of your supervisor
- The location you are flying from and the cost for your airfare, as determined by the
availability of low-cost economy fares for travel to the conference. Please describe any other
expenses you expect to accrue.
Students may specify if they are female, ethnic minority, or students with disabilities, as we
will consider these aspects when discussing the applications.
Please submit your single, combined PDF to http://new.precisionconference.com/ by selecting "IUI 2020 Student Grants" by February 6th 2020.
