IEEE SMC 2026 Travel Grants
Thanks to the generous support of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society (SMCS), applications are now open for travel grants to support students and young professional authors of accepted papers in attending the IEEE SMC 2026 conference.
Selected applicants will receive a travel reimbursement grant of $600 upon successfully registering and presenting their papers at the conference.
For details on how to become an IEEE SMC member, please check the IEEE SMC website: https://www.ieeesmc.org/
Important Note: The grant is provided as a reimbursement, meaning recipients must cover their expenses upfront and will be reimbursed after the conference upon submission of required proof of attendance, which must include an official in-person participation certificate issued by SMC'26.
