*** Applications Due: January 22, 2017 (FIRM DEADLINE) *** *** Notification: January 31, 2017 (late applications will not be considered) ***

ACM IUI 2017 is the 22nd annual meeting of the intelligent interfaces community and serves as a premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI), with contributions from related fields such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design or the arts.

The objective of IUI's student support is to encourage students interested in subjects related to Intelligent User Interfaces to become active members of the IUI community. To apply, the student should be actively enrolled as a student in an academic institution. Priority will be given to students who are first authors of accepted papers and to participants in the doctoral consortium, to minorities and women. Recipients of the stipend are also expected to help the conference organization as student volunteers. The level of support will be determined by the availability of funds and the number of eligible applications.

The student volunteer chairs are here to help, please contact us at sv2017@iui.acm.org if you have any questions that are not covered by the documents and links found below.

Currently, there are four grant schemes available which are detailed below: - The SIGAI Student Travel Grant. - The IUI Travelling Grant supported by SIGCHI. - The German AI Society Travel Grant – for German students. - The National Science Foundation Travelling Grant - for US students.

The IUI Chairs will decide about the allocation of the sources of support to students that will be eligible for travelling grants (there are some differences between the sources and what is required from the students – see below).

The application should include: 1. Full name. 2. Email address. 3. The school you are attending, your major, and the country in which the school resides. 4. If you will present at the conference, please provide the title of the submission and its type (e.g. research paper, student consortium, demo). Please note if you have submitted but have not found out if your submission has been accepted. 5. A short statement describing your research interests and how you wish to benefit from attending IUI 2017. 6. The location you are flying from and the cost for your airfare, as determined by the availability of low-cost economy fares for travel to the conference. Please describe any other expenses you expect to accrue, but do not include registration and housing costs, as they are similar for all students. 7. Students may specify if they are female, ethnic minority, or students with disabilities, as we will consider these aspects when discussing the applications.

A letter of recommendation from your thesis or doctoral advisor (or supervising faculty member) sent separately by email to the Student Volunteer Co-Chairs at sv2017@iui.acm.org. If you are also applying to the Student Consortium, one appropriately worded recommendation letter can be used for both applications, or you may submit a slightly different letter for each application.

Please submit your single, combined PDF (except letter of recommendation) to: https://precisionconference.com/~sigchi/ by January 22nd 2017.
