CIF: Student Travel Support for the North American School on Information Theory

IEEE北美信息理论学院（NASIT）是IEEE信息理论学会的年度活动，这将是其第八届。NASIT每年由不同的机构主办，目的是增加参与者的地理多样性。2015年信息理论学院（NASIT？15)将于2015年8月10日至8月13日在加州拉霍亚的加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UC San Diego）举行。学校提供了一个支持性的环境，为学习和长期的未来科学合作奠定了基础。该学院为数学、工程和计算机科学的研究生提供互动教育。它为学生提供了与来自学术界和工业界的高级研究人员会面和学习的机会，他们提供了长格式的教程。学生和博士后参与者在海报会议上展示自己的研究成果。最近学校的学生出勤率从110名到180名不等。该提案要求支持来自美国的学校参与者，如研究生和博士后的费用。这些参与者将是个人谁将受益于参加学校？向资深同事学习，在海报会议上展示自己的研究，并扩大与社区的关系网？但他们缺乏资金，如果没有旅费支助，就无法出席会议。

The IEEE North American School for Information Theory (NASIT) is an annual event of the IEEE Information Theory Society, and this will be its eighth edition. NASIT is hosted by different institutions each year, with the intent of increasing the geographic diversity of the participants. The 2015 School for Information Theory (NASIT ?15) will be held at University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) in La Jolla, California, from August 10 to August 13, 2015. The School provides a supportive environment where foundations for learning and long-term future scientific collaborations are established. The School delivers interactive education for graduate students in the mathematical, engineering, and computer sciences. It presents students the opportunity to meet with and learn from senior researchers from academia and industry who present long format tutorials. Student and post-doc participants present their own research results in poster sessions. Student attendance at recent schools has varied from 110 to 180 student participants. This proposal requests support for the expenses of school participants from the United States such as graduate students and postdocs. These participants would be individuals who would benefit from attending the school ? learning from senior colleagues, presenting their own research in poster sessions, and expanding their network with their community ? but who lack funds and would not be able to attend without travel support.
