Travel: Student Travel Grant for the IEEE ICC 2023 and 2024

由IEEE通信学会主办的2023年和2024年IEEE国际通信会议将分别于2023年5月28日至6月1日在意大利罗马和2024年6月9日至13日在科罗拉多州丹佛举行。IEEE ICC是IEEE通信学会的主要国际会议，也是无线通信和网络领域的一项重大活动，它将数字/无线通信和网络的各个方面的研究人员和实践者聚集在一起，展示该领域的最新成果和成就。它受到了该领域的研究者和实践者的广泛关注。参加这样的活动是研究生院经历中极其重要的一部分，提供了与更多资深研究人员互动的机会，并接触到该领域的前沿工作。与会者有机会介绍他们的工作，参加小组和主旨会议，并与该领域的数百名其他前沿研究人员互动。该提案为2023年或2024年在美国的大约26名研究生提供旅行支持，参加这个首发会议。旅行奖项将针对第一次参加会议的人和代表不足的少数族裔学生，因为参加会议是他们教育经历的重要组成部分，而且他们的旅行资金往往有限。研究界和工程界受益于学生的进步和新的研究视角的引入。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 2023 and 2024 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), sponsored by the IEEE Communication Society, are to be held in Rome, Italy between May 28 and June 1, 2023, and in Denver, CO on June 9-13, 2024, respectively. IEEE ICC is a premier international conference of the IEEE Communications Society and a major event in wireless communications and networking that brings researchers and practitioners of every aspect of digital/wireless communications and networks together to present up-to-date results and achievements in the field. It is widely attended by researchers and practitioners in the field. Participation in events like this is an extremely important part of the graduate school experience, providing the opportunity to interact with more senior researchers and to be exposed to leading-edge work in the field. Participants have the opportunity to present their work, attend panel and keynote sessions, and interact with hundreds of other leading-edge researchers in the field.This proposal provides travel support for approximately twenty-six graduate students in the United States to attend this premiere conference either in 2023 or in 2024. The travel awards will target first-time attendees and under-represented minority students, since attending conferences is an important part of their educational experience, and they often have limited travel funds. The research community and the Engineering workforce benefit from the improvement of students in the pipeline, and the introduction of new researcher perspectives.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
