The 46th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture, 2013

Student Travel Grants

ACM SIGMICRO and IEEE TCmARCH (among others) are providing funds to support travel grants for students to attend MICRO-46. Funds can be requested to cover transportation and lodging costs (limited to travel and hotel from December 7th - 11th). However, meals and symposium registration will not be funded. (Registration costs are already greatly reduced thanks to MICRO Industry Support).

The application is available online here.


The grant application deadline is Tuesday, November 12th, 2013 and recipients will be notified on or about November 18th.

The size of grants may be limited due to budgetary constraints. In particular, there may be upper bounds on specific items, and we may set different upper bounds based upon the level of involvement (symposium speaker vs. workshop speaker vs. coauthor, for example). Reimbursement will occur after the conference, and is contingent upon two things:

  1. The submission of original travel receipts
  2. The submission of an acceptable 1-2 page description of what you thought was the most significant talk at the conference (and why). This report will be read by the General Chair of the conference, as well as by the Chair of the IEEE TCmARCH, who intend to present a summation of the opinions of the travel grant awardees at the next SIGMICRO/TCmARCH business meeting.
Students are encouraged to become members of either ACM or IEEE. Membership is not required in order to be reimbursed, but it is encouraged.

Applications must be received by the deadline.
