Travel grants

NCCR Automation offers travel grants for eligible students to attend and present their research at CLOCK 2025. 

We invite applications from master’s students, PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members from Universities in geographical regions that are under-represented in the Control and Automation community. This is a fantastic chance to engage with experts in the field, present your work in the poster session, and gain insights into the latest research developments.

To apply for the travel grant, please submit the following:

• your up to date CV

• a short motivation letter detailing your interest in attending the summit and how it aligns with your academic goals (maximum 1 page without headlines);

• a recommendation letter from a professor you worked with (only for students and postdocs)

• a preliminary poster showcasing your research work up to now. If selected, you can then update the poster for the final presentation.

The grants will cover travel, meals, and lodging expenses. Candidates will be evaluated based on the high quality of their research and motivation. Geographical diversity will also be considered.

Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your academic journey and connect with others in your field. Please submit your application by 15th May 2025 and take the next step towards an enriching experience at the CLOCK Summit. We look forward to your application!

Applications will open in April.
