(2) Invitation-only Research Seminars/Workshops/School: Qualified candidates can obtain financial support to attend exclusive invitation-only research seminars, workshops, summer schools, or instructional workshops. (3) Additional Page Costs: Recognizing that some research findings require a more detailed exposition, this grant will cover additional page costs for top-tier conferences (A/A* venues) and journals with a significant impact factor. This is not a travel grant. More details about the grant here . Application open throughout the year. Apply here .
Research Opportunities in Computer Science: ROCS (pronounced as ROCKS) is an initiative to expose undergraduate students in (mainly aspiring) colleges / universities / institutes to exciting research happening in the country in various areas of computer science. The hope is to inspire at least a few of them to choose a career in research in industry or academics. It is a one-day event, typically on a Saturday with 4-5 talks on multiple areas of computer science. It also may have an “Ask me Anything” session to discuss questions from the participants, talks outlining entry procedures in various institutions, and a panel discussion among the speakers. More details about ROCS here . If you / your institute is interested in hosting ROCS, please see here . Stay tuned for announcements of the schedule.
Note: You don’t have to be an ACM India member or have a chapter in your college / university to participate in any of the above activities.
