The SIGCHI Student Travel Grant (SSTG) program is intended to enable students who lack other funding opportunities to attend SIGCHI sponsored or co-sponsored conferences. This travel grant is intended to support students whose intention is to *present* at a SIGCHI sponsored conference, not just attend. The goal — not fully achieved in the program’s first year — is to pre-approve students for grants *before* a conference’s earliest submission deadline, so that *if* a student gets a submission *accepted*, that student can count on having a grant awarded for travel to the conference.
Students are expected to apply for a SSTG for a particular conference. The application process is designed so that applications are typically due at least 6 weeks before the conference’s earliest submission date, and so that grants will normally be awarded at least one month before the conference’s earliest submission date. The sections below entitled “The application” and “The application process and deadlines” have more information. The deadline of the grant application for ACM RecSys 2018 is Feb 1, 2018 -- before the deadline of paper submissions. If you are willing to apply the grant, you should take a note about the due date and start the application as soon as possible For more information about this grant, refer to https://sigchi.org/conferences/student-travel-grants/student-travel-grant/ Publicity Chairs at ACM RecSys 2018 Yong Zheng, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA Humberto Corona, Zalando, Ireland
