The Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence offers grants for the participation of students in the 14th Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AI*IA 2015).

The commission will evaluate the submitted applications, and will select the students that will receive the grant on the basis of the following priorities

- other Ph.D. students
- bachelor and master students and, among these, according to the average of their exam grades
- recent graduates
The selected students will have to confirm their participation in the symposium in 2 days.
After the event, the selected students will have to send a scanned copy of the certificate of attendance to the AI*IA treasurer Sara Manzoni (by email manzoni@disco.unimib.it) together with their IBAN account number.
Moreover, they have to send the originals of the receipts by mail to the AI*IA accountant
