Mentoring ● Cluster 2024
Student Mentoring Program
The Student Mentoring Program at IEEE Cluster 2024 is a program for graduate and undergraduate students to help them in building their scientific career as efficiently as possible. The scientific presentations and interactions with conference attendees help them develop their technical skills. The Student Mentoring Program complements and extends this development by fostering the integration of the students into the Cluster scientific community, advising them to plan their professional career in academia or industry, improving their scientific communication skills, and providing them with the right entry points for efficient professional networking.
Applying to the Mentoring Program
The Student Mentoring Program is not just another publication venue. All interested students can apply through a simple process, by providing a short description of why they want to participate in the conference, the id(s) of any works submitted to the conference or associated workshops, the name of their advisor, and their CV. The student’s adviser should endorse the student’s application and will be contacted once the application is submitted.
Student Travel Awards
For students at U.S. institutions:
Thanks to the National Science Foundation, several travel awards will be available for students enrolled in U.S. institutions (at the time of the conference) and participating in the Student Mentoring Program at the IEEE Cluster 2024 conference. Notice of travel awards will be made prior to the conference. The travel awards will be distributed post-conference in the form of reimbursements against actual flights, registration, and lodging expenses submitted by the student. Both graduate and undergraduate students can apply.
For students at Japanese institutions:
Thanks to the RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), dozens of travel awards will be available for students enrolled in Japanese institutions. Students with accepted papers in the main conference track or in workshops, or students with posters are eligible for the travel award. Notice of travel awards will be made prior to the conference. In the case of many applications, we will conduct a selection process under the advice of the technical program committee of the conference. The travel awards will be distributed post-conference in the form of reimbursements against actual travel and accommodation expenses submitted by the student. Please note that this award will not cover the registration fee. Both graduate and undergraduate students can apply.
Note: The awards will be competitive in the sense that not every applicant is guaranteed to receive a Travel Award. Acceptance to the student program is separate from getting a travel award.
