Travel: NSF Student Travel Grant for the 2026 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME)

This grant provides funds to support students for travel to the IEEE International Conference Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME), which will take place in Benevento, Italy in September 2026. ICSME is one of the premier conferences in the field of Software Engineering. A large part of the technical program is devoted to research on using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to support software development, as well as using software engineering techniques to support AI-based software systems. The grant will provide travel and registration support for US-based students. The ICSME 2026 conference also features a Doctoral Symposium. Conference attendance is important for the technical exchange of information and research conversations/collaborations made possible by the conference, as well as advances in the field made possible by these interactions. The conference provides opportunities for education, training and mentoring to build the next generation of researchers and practitioners in the field of software engineering. The international nature of this conference helps develop a globally-aware workforce of research and educators within the US and helps build the community of researchers in the field of Software Engineering. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
