The International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence [IJCAI]
Organization, in collaboration with the AI Journal,
is pleased to announce the continuation of its Travel Grants Program
for students, junior scientists and scientists
attending IJCAI-13 to be held in Beijing, China, during August 3-9,
2013. The IJCAI-13 Travel Grants Program is sponsored
in full by the IJCAI Organization and its Artificial Intelligence
Journal (AIJ) Division.

Application Procedure

Due to limited availability of funds for the IJCAI Travel Grants
Program, applicants, especially students,
should first approach their department and/or local AI society for
support before applying to IJCAI.
Applicants should submit the IJCAI-13 Travel Grant Application Form
(and accompanying documents) via email
attachment to ijcai-13-grants@ijcai.org, no later than May 10, 2013
midnight CEST. A decision will be sent by May 20, 2013.


Travel Grant Application Form will be available on April 10, 2013 on
the IJCAI-13 website!

In the meantime, all inquiries about IJCAI-13 Travel Grants Program
should be directed to the IJCAI Executive Secretary Vesna
Sabljakovic-Fritz at: e-s@ijcai.org

In addition to contact information, the application should include:

* status of the applicant (student, junior faculty, etc.) with
evidence of existing interest and expertise in AI
* type of planned participation in the IJCAI-13 program (accepted
technical session or workshop paper, etc.)
* an estimate of attendance costs
* the results of approaching the department/local AI Society for support
* whether any other sources of support are available to the applicant
* a case for support that includes reasons why IJCAI should make
the grant to the applicant and
* a letter of support (for students only) from the applicant's
advisor/head of department.

A post-conference report and receipts totaling the grant amount will
be required after the conference in order
to receive the grant. In the event that travel grant applications
exceed available funds, preference will be given
to students who have an accepted technical paper, and then to students
who are actively participating in the conference
in some way.
