Dear SPS Chapter Mmebers,

The Signal Processing Society recently approved an initiative that would provide limited Society support for SPS Chapters to send up to two members each to the 2018 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP) from 15-20 April 2018.

Each participating Chapter’s candidate(s) is required to be an IEEE Signal Processing Society member in good standing, as well as a current practicing engineer, to be considered for the travel grant support. A practicing engineer must fall in one of the following categories:

• Industry (including small and medium enterprises)
• Industrial research and development
• Self-employed
• Consultant
• Unemployed young professionals unaffiliated with universities

Applicants who are professors or students at universities will not be considered for this travel support. Practicing engineers who have accepted papers at ICASSP 2018 will also not be considered. If you are interested in this travel grant please write to SP Chapter Chair – p.samczynski@elka.pw.edu.pl.

Applicants who receive the grant are expected to do one of the following items in accepting the travel grant funds, which are:

• Write a short article about the conference for the Society’s newsletter;
• Write a summary of one of the sessions for the conference website/newsletter;
• Give a summary talk at a local Chapter meeting.

The intent of this request is to spread the word about the conference and Society.

Travel grant support will be awarded in the amount of $600 for individuals traveling within the same continent and $1200 for travel between continents. The SPS Chapters Review Committee will review the nominations and determine if travel support will be awarded. Nominations must be submitted no later than Friday, 9 February 2018.

If you have any questions about these or other SPS or Chapter activities, please contact Membership Administrator, Jaqueline Rash at jaqueline.rash@ieee.org.

Thank you for your work and contribution to SPS!

Best,

Nikos Sidiropoulos
