IEEE CS TCPP & TCCC PerCom 2026 Student Travel Grants for non-US students
The 24th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (IEEE PerCom 2026) is pleased to announce competitive student travel grants for non-US based students to attend the conference and co-located events (Workshops, Ph.D. Forum, WiP, Industry Track, Demo sessions, etc.) to be held in Pisa, Italy 16-20 March 2026. Funds for the travel grants, that partially reimburse the conference attendance cost, have been provided by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP) and Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC).
This funding is available only for full-time students attending non-US colleges and universities. All students are encouraged to apply. Although student authors will be given priority for travel awards, this is not a requirement. Post-doctoral students may also be considered for support on a case-by-case basis. To be eligible, non-US based students (henceforth referred to as “you”) must apply via EDAS no later than Monday, February 16, 2026 (anywhere on Earth (AOE)). Please note that your advisor will be asked by EDAS to provide a recommendation letter and they also need to submit their letter by Monday, February 16, 2026 (anywhere on Earth (AOE))”
To apply for this travel support, please do the following:
- Obtain a letter from your advisor/professor confirming that:
-
- You are currently a full-time research student in good standing, working in areas related to pervasive computing.
- You will be attending the entire PerCom conference and associated events.
- The remainder of your travel support will be covered (indicate how).
- Write a personal statement describing your research interests and how you wish to benefit from attending PerCom 2026. Indicate your full-time student status, and location from which you will be traveling.
- Upload the above documents, along with your two-page CV, on EDAS. After logging into EDAS, click the “Travel Grant” tab on your EDAS home page, and then select “IEEE CS TCPP & TCCC Student Travel Grant for PerCom 2026”. Or you can access the EDAS Travel Grant submission form directly here.
Please note that IEEE PerCom conference will not be able to reimburse all of your travel expenses due to limited budget. Eligible expenses include advance student registration fee, hotel, and/or transportation (flight, bus or train). Expenses that are not eligible for reimbursement include regular or on-site registration, taxis and meals. Student travel grants are available in the form of reimbursements that are sent only after the completion of the conference and receipt of all required documentation and receipts. The reimbursement amount will be based on the number of awards made and distance travelled.
