Travel Grants

CODS-COMAD 2024, with generous support from the sponsors, will provide travel assistance to a limited number of full-time students from degree granting institutions to attend the conference in person. While students with accepted papers are given preference, there are a limited number of grants for other students who are interested in attending. The goal is to promote participation of students from a diverse set of institutions and backgrounds who can benefit from attending a leading conference on data science and engaging with experts and their peers. We strongly encourage participants of the Diversity and Inclusion (D&I), Young Researcher’s Symposium and ACM India PhD Clinic tracks to apply for the travel grant.

The travel grant includes partial monetary support to cover the travel, a subsidized registration to the conference and a shared accommodation at no cost. The prospective participants will have to first register to avail the grant.

Important: Students who are provided the travel grant MUST attend all four days of the conference physically.

Faculty Travel Grant under the D&I track

CODS-COMAD 2024 will also provide travel assistance to the faculty members of Indian Universities under the Diversity and Inclusion track only. The grant covers a partial monetary support to cover the travel expenses, a subsidized registration to the conference, and free accommodation.
