The International Advisory Committee (IAC) of the International Teletraffic Congress has decided to offer a number of travel grants that will be available to support full-time students for attending ITC 26. The amount of each grant is US$750 (equivalent EUR 550) that can be used to cover student travel expenses related to attending ITC 26 conference, such as student registration fee, airline ticket, and hotel accommodation expenses.

The application from the student should state why he/she wants to attend ITC 26 and how would he/she benefit from ITC 26. This description should be kept to a page maximum. Use EDAS's upload function to submit this statement.

The advisor of the student must also submit a recommendation stating that ITC 26 covers the applicant's research areas, details whether the student is a PhD candidate, and outlines how the student out stands among other students. Upon application from the student, the advisor will receive an invitation to submit the recommendation.  

If selected, the Student commits to send within two weeks after ITC 26 a two-page report highlighting the benefits of having attended ITC 26, in terms of impact on his/her own research, of overall technical knowledge increase, and on technical exchanges and potential collaboration with other attendees.
