Each paper requires one full registration (i.e., a student registration does not cover any papers). Each full registration covers a maximum of two papers and additional charge JPY 30,000 per paper is incurred for more than two papers with one full registration. The extra page charge is JPY 10,000 per page. See more details on the registration page (now under construction).
*Student Travel Grants*
ICONIP 2016 will offer a limited number of Travel Grants (JPY 55,000) for undergraduate students and graduate students. The students who want to apply for this travel grants must declare in advance on the paper submission page.
*ICONIP 2016 Awards*
We will present the two types of awards:
– Excellent Paper Awards
– Best Student Paper Awards
For Best Student Paper Awards, the finalists who are selected by the Awards Committee must attend the Presentation Session for Best Student Paper Awards which will be held at the conference venue on October 16th, 2016. The recipient of each award will be given a certificate of the award and a cash prize (JPY 55,000) to be presented during the conference banquet at ICONIP 2016.
*Accommodation*
The travel agency JTB will accept a limited number of accommodation requests shortly. However, we strongly recommend you to reserve your accommodation yourself as soon as possible (even before you get the acceptance notice). Please keep in mind that October is one of the most crowded seasons in Kyoto. If your reservation is late, you may have to commute from outside of Kyoto city.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the ICONIP 2016 Secretariat (iconip2016@gmail.com).
