Avignon, France -- 8 – 11 September, 2025
http://cns2025.ieee-cns.org/
**********************************************************************
IEEE CNS 2025 is fully sponsored by IEEE & IEEE ComSoc.
IEEE CNS 2025 would like to encourage student participation at the conference and is pleased to announce the availability of travel grant opportunities for students. With this support, IEEE CNS 2025 will be able to partially support the travel, accommodation, and registration costs of student registrants who might otherwise be unable to attend the conference.
All eligible applications will be considered, especially female and under-represented minority students and those who will attend the conference for the first time. We encourage students to submit their papers first to the conference then submit their travel grant applications. Even if the paper is not accepted, student is allowed to submit a student travel grant application. We anticipate funding approximately 12 students between rates $1000 and $1500 per student. The number and amount of awards will be determined based on the available funding and the applications received.
