GRANTS AND PRIZES

AISC Student Travel Grants

Three Student Travel Grants (up to 250 euros each, plus the 2025 AISC membership fee) are available to support the attendance of AISC student members at the conference. 

Undergraduate and graduate students who plan to attend the conference can apply for travel support. Any student whose paper is accepted for presentation is eligible. Awardees will be selected based on submission quality as emerged from the reviewers’ scores (in case of equal judgment, the younger candidate will have precedence). After acceptance, selected authors will be contacted by the AISC Conference Awards Chairs. 

Student authors who want to be considered for the grant as part of the submission process can email aisc2026@outlook.com
