Program 2: Publication & Conference Grant
Program 2: Publication & Conference Grant
Publication & Conference Grant is offered under Program 2 of the Student Research Grant Program. This funding stream supports CECS undergraduate students in disseminating completed research through publications or conferences, distinct from Program 1’s focus on project execution. Below are the details for Program 2.
Open to CECS undergraduate students who are either:
- First authors of completed research outcomes (e.g., manuscripts or conference papers), or
- The sole VinUni co-author of completed research outcomes, provided no VinUni faculty are first authors or co-authors. If multiple VinUni students co-author a conference paper, only one may apply to attend and present.
All VinUni authors must indicate VinUni affiliation in the publication or presentation.
Requires a faculty endorsement (e.g., an email from a CECS faculty member confirming the research’s validity and quality) submitted with the application.
- Total Allocation: USD 5,000 (VND 127,500,000) for AY24-25.
- Maximum per Request: USD 1,000 (VND 25,500,000) to ensure equitable distribution.
- Eligible Expenses:
- Publication (e.g., journal publication costs)
- Conference participation (e.g., registration fees, travel costs including airfare, accommodation expenses and per diem).
- Disbursement Process: Funds are managed by CECS and disbursed as reimbursements or payment directly to vendors based on submitted receipts or invoices. No direct payments will be made to students.
- Funding Basis: Awards are granted on a first-come, first-serve basis until the total allocation is depleted.
Submission Requirements:
- A completed application form
- Proof of acceptance, such as a journal acceptance email or conference invitation
Application Period: Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis from March 2025 to 31 December 2025, or until funds are depleted.
Notification Timing: Applicants will be notified of decisions within two (2) weeks of submission.
Proof of Dissemination:
- For publications: Submit the published paper file or Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
- For conferences: Submit certificate of participation or conference proceeding.
Sharing the research results: Recipients are encouraged to present their work at a VinUni research symposium or share results through an alternative CECS platform (details to be announced).
Acknowledgement: Student authors are required to recognize VinUni’s Student Research Grant Program in the acknowledgement section (e.g., “This research was funded by VinUni’s Student Research Grant Program AY24-25”).
Exclusivity: Funds from Program 2 are separate and cannot be used to supplement Program 1’s budget.
Funding Limit: Once the USD 5,000 allocation is depleted, the application form will be closed, and no further applications will be accepted for AY24-25 grant.
Frequency Limit: Students can receive only one Program 2 award per academic year.
