MSR India’s Student Travel Grant Program has supported research students at Indian universities, producing high-quality research. The travel grant supports students to defray costs of travel, fees, accommodation, meals, and incidental expenses when attending top-tier computer science research conferences outside India. We believe that the exposure that the students get by attending and presenting papers at these conferences enhances the quality of their research effort, facilitates peer review/feedback, and enhances their research careers.
Over the past decade, through the Student Grant Program, we have supported over 500 students to travel and present their work in top-tier conferences worldwide.
