IEEE IES Students and Young Professionals Activity Committee
Activities Program for the Conferences
Please visit http://www.ieee-ies.org/syp to see all opportunities
The IEEE IES Students and Young Professionals Activity Committee (S&YP-AC) would like to introduce a project of scientific and social Activities Program.
The offer is focused, but not limited to the IEEE Students and Young Professional (S&YP). Our support indirectly can help Supervisors, Mentors and Professors that would like to promote interesting work of their younger colleagues. Mentors can support their mentee not only by co-authoring scientific papers but also by advising them to join the IEEE IES to be able to attend IES conferences. The support can be divided into the following main point of cooperation:
The IES Student Paper and Travel Assistance (IES SPTA).
Since 2018, a new name of this type of support is implemented:
the IES S&YP Paper Assistance (IES-SYPA).
The rules generally remain the same but in addition, Young Professionals are supported. Moreover, the distance to the conference is going to be taken into account as one of the coefficient during the selection process.
The goal of the IES-SYPA is to financially support the travel for the IEEE IES S&YP to attend an IES conference. The number, rules and examples of 3 minutes videos of the IES-SYPA can be found at the IEEE IES Internet platforms [1]-[4].
To apply for the IES-SYPA, please go to the IES Manuscript Submission System (MSS) provided by the Chairman of supported conference. The list of the conference can be found at IEEE IES website [1]. Generally it is simple. If your paper will be accepted and if at least one co-author is an IEEE IES Student or YP Member, you will be able to apply for the assistance [1].
