UAI 2016 - Scholarship Program

A limited number of scholarships will be provided to authors of accepted papers in order to subsidize travel, registration, and housing expenses for UAI 2016. Any author can apply, but students authors will be given priority.

Student recipients may be asked to help with several hours of volunteer work, where 'helping' mostly means sitting behind the desk, helping with distribution of materials, solving small problems with registrations and equipment, and the like. We will make sure you will not have any duties during the session when your paper is scheduled to be presented.

Application Process

DO NOT REGISTER for the conference until you receive the response from the scholarship application (details on dates are below).

Authors wishing to receive a UAI 2016 scholarship are asked to send an email with the following information:

For students:

Whether you are willing to be a student volunteer (as explained above). If yes, which days you will be present at the conference.

Applications should be emailed with the title "UAI-16 SCHOLARSHIP", to: uai2016org@gmail.com before May 26, 2016. A decision will be notified by June 2, 2016.

Note Even if your scholarship gets accepted, you may only get a part of the amount you applied for. Since successful applicants will get free registration (main conference and workshops), applicants should wait for a decision before registering for the conference.

UAI 2016 - Volunteer Positions

In addition to Travel Scholarships, there will a small number of student volunteer positions. A student volunteer receives free registration to UAI 2016 (tutorials, conference and worskshops). If you have already submitted a Travel Scholarship application, we will automatically consider you also for volunteering if we cannot give you a travel scholarship, so you need not do anything else.
