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，这将是该学会的第八届。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日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校(加州大学圣地亚哥分校)举行。学院提供了一个支持性的环境，为学习和未来长期的科学合作奠定了基础。该学院为数学、工程和计算机科学方面的研究生提供互动教育。它为学生提供了会见和学习来自学术界和产业界的高级研究人员的机会，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他们自己的研究成果。最近学校的学生出勤率从110人到180人不等。这项提案要求为美国的研究生和博士后等学校参与者的费用提供支持。这些参与者将是将从学校受益的个人？向资深同事学习，在海报会议上展示他们自己的研究成果，并扩大他们与社区的网络？但他们缺乏资金，如果没有旅行支持就无法参加。

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.
