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

会议补助金：2015年IEEE RFID-TA学生旅行奖，东京，2015年9月16-18日IEEE射频识别技术与应用国际会议（IEEE RFID-TA）是涵盖RFID、无线传感器网络、能量收集、定位和低能耗无线通信等多学科研究的重要会议。 2015年在日本东京举办的会议，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，其中许多人并不定期参加北美IEEE RFID会议。 预计约有150名与会者和30份论文。 NSF基金将为美国公民或永久居民的研究生或博士后研究人员提供部分旅行支持，以参加IEEE RFID-TA 2015并在会议上展示他们的工作。 IEEE RFID顾问已经为学生与会者的旅行赠款计划提供了一些基础资金。 NSF赞助的旅行赠款计划将作为最高补助金，以竞争性方式授予符合现有旅行赠款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美国早期职业研究人员提供许多好处，他们可能无法参加，为他们提供国际网络机会，并照亮他们的未来前景。 此外，这次会议有很强的行业参与，并将允许早期职业研究人员有机会探索与行业的合作。

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.
