   IJCAI-07 Travel Grants Program   
      
   International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence [IJCAI] is   
   pleased to announce the continuation of its Travel Grants Program for   
   students, junior scientists and scientists attending IJCAI-07 to be   
   held in Hyderabad, India during January 6-12, 2007.   
      
   Application Procedure   
      
   Due to limited availability of funds for the IJCAI Travel Grants   
   Program, applicants, especially students, should first approach their   
   local AI society for support before applying to IJCAI.   
      
   Applicants should submit a letter of request to the IJCAI   
   Secretary-Treasurer at s-t at ijcai.org, no later than 15th October   
   2006.   
      
   A decision will be notified by 25th October 2006.   
      
   The letter of request should include:   
   o        the status of the applicant (student, junior faculty, etc.)   
   with  evidence of existing interest and expertise in AI   
   o        type of planned participation in the IJCAI-07 program   
   (accepted technical session or workshop paper, etc.)   
   o        an estimate of attendance costs   
   o        the results of approaching the local  AI Society for support   
   o        whether any other sources of support are available to the   
   applicant   
   o        a case for support that includes reasons why IJCAI should   
   make the grant to the applicant and   
   o        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:   
      
   Applications should be submitted electronically to s-t at ijcai.org.
