SODA 2021 FUNDS for STUDENT REGISTRATION FEES

Dear TCS students:

By now, it is hard to overestimate the impact of the COVID19 pandemic to society. However, like every challenge, it has created some opportunities. For example, essentially all major conferences in TCS this year have been transformed into virtual ones, making them more accessible to scholars/students across the world (of course at the expense of traditional interactions).

ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms (SODA21) will be held virtually this year, on Jan. 10 - 13, 2021. As you may know, this is the premier conference on algorithms .

See https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/conference/soda21

Thanks to our industry partners and ACM SIGACT group, SODA has some funds for covering student registrations. I am writing to informing you this opportunity and encourage you to apply:
See:
1. https://awards.siam.org/
2. https://www.siam.org/conferences/cm/lodging-and-support/travel-support/soda21-travel-support

That deadline is Dec. 27, 2020. Like before, having papers in SODA is not prerequisite.
