Funder: IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
Due Dates (Anticipated): April 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Typically $1,000–$8,000 per summer school
Summary: Supports organizers of computational intelligence summer schools that deepen students’ and young researchers’ skills and engagement in research.
Key Information: The main organizer must be an IEEE CIS member when the proposal is submitted.
Description
The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society co-finances summer schools in computational intelligence and related interdisciplinary areas. The schools serve senior undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and young researchers seeking to deepen their skills and participate in rapidly evolving research fields. Funding partially supports tuition, accommodation, and other costs of running a school, with organizing institutions covering additional expenses.
Schools typically combine lectures by international scholars with seminars, discussions, and visits to local academic organizations or industries. Topics span fundamental theory and applications, while participants gain opportunities to meet peers, discuss ongoing research, and experience local industry and culture. The Summer Schools Subcommittee, within the Society’s Education Committee, evaluates proposals and coordinates hosts, topics, lecturers, and activities, with attention to technical quality, topic balance, and geographical balance.
