Conference Grant: Student Travel Awards for IEEE RFID-TA 2015, Tokyo, 16-18 September 2015

IEEE国际射频识别技术与应用会议（IEEE RFID- ta）是一个多学科研究的重要会议，包括RFID、无线传感器网络、能量收集、定位和低能耗无线通信。2015年的会议地点在日本东京，预计将吸引来自日本、韩国、中国大陆、香港、台湾和其他亚洲国家的研究人员，其中许多人不定期参加北美IEEE RFID会议。预计约150名与会者将发表30篇论文。美国国家科学基金会将为美国公民或永久居民的研究生或博士后研究人员参加IEEE RFID-TA 2015并在会议上展示他们的工作提供部分旅费支持。IEEE射频识别顾问已经为学生与会者的旅行补助计划提供了一些基础资金。美国国家科学基金会赞助的旅行补助金计划将作为最高补助金，以竞争方式授予符合现有旅行补助金计划要求的美国公民或永久居民。美国国家科学基金会的资助将为早期职业的美国研究人员提供许多好处，否则他们可能无法参加，为他们提供国际交流机会，照亮他们的未来前景。此外，本次会议有很强的行业出席率，并将允许早期职业研究人员有机会探索与行业合作。

Conference Grant: Student Travel Awards for IEEE RFID-TA 2015, Tokyo, 16-18 September 2015The IEEE International Conference on Radio-Frequency Identification Technology and Applications (IEEE RFID-TA) is a premier conference for multidisciplinary research encompassing RFID, wireless sensor networks, energy-harvesting, localization, and low-energy wireless communications. With the conference site in Tokyo, Japan in 2015, it is expected to draw researchers from Japan, Korea, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Asian countries, many of whom do not regularly attend the North American IEEE RFID conference. Approximately 150 attendees with 30 paper presentations are expected. The NSF funds will provide partial travel support for graduate students or post-doctoral researchers who are US citizens or permanent residents to attend IEEE RFID-TA 2015 and present their work at the conference. The IEEE Counsel on RFID has already provided some base funding for a travel grants program for student attendees. The NSF-sponsored travel grants program will be used as a topping grant, to be awarded competitively to US citizens or permanent residents that meet the existing travel grants program requirements. The NSF grant will provide numerous benefits to early-career US researchers, who may not otherwise be able to attend, by providing them with international networking opportunity and brightening their future prospects. Moreover, this conference has strong industry attendance, and will allow early-career researchers the opportunity to explore collaborations with industry.
