We are pleased to announce the IROS Student and Developing Countries (IROS-SDC) Travel Award for the second year in IROS history.

The purpose of this IROS-SDC Travel Award is to assist student authors and authors from developing countries to defray some of their travel costs in order to attend and present their papers at the IROS conference and to interact with conference attendees. This IROS-SDC Travel Award aims to promote the growth of IROS conferences by reaching out to graduate students and members from the developing countries.​

The award consists in partial travel support up to $600, or 80% of the applicant’s air travel, whichever is smaller.​
